MUS 119 - Music in World Cultures

Institution:

Monroe Community College

Subject:

Music (MUS)

Description:

A diverse overview of classical, popular, and folk music traditions comprising all of the major world cultures. The objectives of the course are to look closely at how we define what music is and what social and cultural roles it serves in our lives. Students will listen to music from other cultures and discuss how the music reflects differences in the way that another society defines music and its role in their lives. This process will also show how diverse and global our own musical traditions already are. The course will also explore the role of music as ritual, mode of communication, work accompaniment and artistic expression. Three class hours, two experiential hours. Offered both Fall and Spring Semesters. This course satisfies the requirement for a social science elective. (SUNY-ARTS and SUNY-HUMANITIES) 3 Credits.
