Description:

This class will show how much the music, history, and culture were shaped through the interaction of native civilization and the environment and the effects of successive waves of population (Natives, Europeans, Africans, and Asians). The course will also examine ecologic and demographic catastrophes and economic revolution, as well as dramatic political and cultural changes that punctuated Latin America's history and shaped its music. The Native, European, and African musical inheritance and how these elements mixed to create the Latin American folkloric, popular, and classical music will be studied in the appropriate social and cultural context. Multimedia resources will help to illustrate the class with examples of archeological sites, visual arts, music, and literature related to each unit in the course. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 32-1110 SIGHTSINGING, MUSICIANSHIP, AND EAR TRAINING I, 32-1120 THEORY, HARMONY, AND ANALYSIS I
