Credits:2 Prerequisites:Overall ensemble rating 3 (Intermediate level in reading and rhythmic skills are necessary.) Course Chair:M. Marvuglio Required of:None Electable by:All Offered:Spring, Fall Description A course for all instrumentalists and vocalists that focuses on the performance and analysis of music by many of the most important contemporary recording/performing artists and composers in South America. Recordings, scores, literature, and videos will be used to explain how these genres have evolved from their traditional styles by absorbing the influences of modern musical forms, including jazz, rock, pop, flamenco, and African music. We will discuss the historical, cultural, and social implications of this process of absorption and adaptation to form a comprehensive understanding of the multi-cultural and multi-racial roots of contemporary South American music. Through analysis and performance, students will learn to extract elements of South American music and use it in other styles, including their own compositions and arrangements.
