Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Music has seemingly played a role in American events from the 1760s to the 1960s. But what has music actually accomplished Is it capable of changing the world Or is it simply a sideshow of political activism This seminar traces mainstream and radical musical response to social and cultural upheaval in the American past from the Revolution to the post-9/11 age. Using the likes of William Billings, Jesse Hutchinson, George Root, and Scott Joplin to Duke Ellington, Bob Dylan, Prince, and Tupac Shakur, we will look to understand the many messages embedded in American protest music and the American music as an icon of social reform. 1.00 units, Seminar
