  • MUSC 018: Origins of Music

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Tomlinson. Music-making seems to be as universal an expressive mode among humans as language itself. Historical evidence points to the emergence of music early in human cultures, and, more strikingly, recent findings in paleoanthropology and cognitive studies suggest that musical capacities lie deep in the brain and extend far back in hominid evolution. The seminar will take up the age-old questions of when, how, and why music began. We will scrutinize this problem from the vantage of recent scientific findings in a variety of fields, including cognitive studies, language acquisition studies, and archaeology. We will attempt to relate these findings to our experience of music in the world today. Prior musical experience is not required for this seminar. History of Music 021. 1000 Years of Musical Listening. (M) Arts & Letters Sector. All Classes. Dillon/Dolan. Open to all students.
