    3.00 Credits
    Reed College

    Full course for one semester. In this course we will study one of the most important wellsprings for 20th-century popular music, the blues, proceeding along three lines of inquiry: musical elements that characterize the blues, focusing on formal and harmonic structure, melodic and poetic ideals, and improvisational strategies; stylistic manifestations of the blues, including country blues, "classic" blues, postwar commercial styles, and influences on gospel music, rock, and jazz; and hermeneutic approaches that probe the "blues aesthetic" as a cultural signifier, as reflected in music criticism, documentary film, literature, its production and consumption, and international reception.

  • MUSIC 365: Avant-garde Music

    3.00 Credits
    Reed College

    Full course for one semester. The term "avant-garde" was applied to music, such as Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire" or Varése's "Ionisation," that broke with techniques of the past, but also to works like Satie's "Relache," which challenged and destabilized the very notion of an art work. These tendencies flowered after World War II with the music and ideas of Cage, Boulez, Stockhausen, Xenakis, Berio, and Feldman; this course will primarily study this literature. We will also study composers of the American "maverick" line, such as Ives, Cowell, Harrison, Partch, and Lucier. Conference. Not offered 20
