MUSIC 123: Popular Musics of the Non-Western World
4.00 Credits
Bard College
Asian Studies What does it mean for a music to be popular, and how does it become that way? In different parts of the world, the production, consumption, and distribution of popular music are all shaped by a society's distinct encounter with and culturally specific ways of negotiating modernity. These have to do with mediations of identity, space, and place that result in local scenes, global trends, musical hybridity, and cross-pollination. This course looks at various popular music genres in different geographical regions, particularly Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, and explores issues related to the emergence of each one as well as their localized meanings. Discussions are based on a combination of selected readings, films/videos, and music recordings. Note that this course does not fulfill a music history elective for music majors.

MUSIC 183: High/Low:Tensions and Agreements Between "Popular" and "SeriousMusic in Western Culture
4.00 Credits
Bard College
As far back as the early Renaissance, distinctions were made as to what constituted popular and serious music. In the 15th century some of those distinctions were defined by music's relationship to the church. Later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, idiomatic folk music began to be deliberately used in opera and symphonic repertoire to evoke elements of nationalism and "local color." In the 20th and 21st centuries, ascharacteristics of jazz, folk, and rock music intermingled, some earlier distinctions between popular and serious music began to blur. In this course, key works in Western classical music from the 16th through the 21st centuries are studied along with the popular music of the day. Careful attention is paid to critical reaction to these works, along with an examination of the cultural climate and trends that might have contributed to high/low distinctions.
