| MUS 108 - Music in World Cultures |
|
This one-term basic survey explores selected musical cultures of the major continental regions of the globe, including Native Americans, Africa, Eastern Europe, India, Asia, and Latin America. Focus is placed in both (1) the nature of the music for a given people on its own terms and (2) the ways in which this music is located within its own cultural context.
Approaching this music is accomplished by recorded music listening and analysis. Venues include in-class and outside-classroom experiences of music and, to a limited degree, in-class music making. Previously numbered MUS 209 and cannot be repeated for Degree Requirements.
