Description:

American Music Since 1950 is a survey course of art music in the United States from 1950-2010. Through the examination of major works and their composers, the course will move through Modernism, Experimentalism, Minimalism, Post-Minimalism, and Neoromanticism in an effort to discover what American contemporary music is. NOTES: The field trip is optional. Mobtown Modern (a Baltimore-based contemporary music ensemble) will be performing one of the landmarks of American music since 1950 (Philip Glass' 'Glassworks'), which we will be studying in class.
