| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1117 Core concepts and perspectives for the serious study of music. Students explore music, meaning, and musicological method in a variety of contexts through a set of six foundational themes and questions: Music and the Idea of Genius, Who Owns Music?, Music and Technology, The Global Soundscape, Music and the State, and Tonality, Sense, and Reason. Each unit uses a small number of musical works, performances, or documents as a focal point. In each unit we also read current musicological work in an attempt to understand the methods, arguments, and perspectives through which scholars interpret music and its many meanings. This course is required of all music majors and minors in their sophomore or junior year. ; Prerequisite(s): MUSC 110, 111, or 203 Div: III; Approach: Critical Interpretation (CI); Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (Hav: HU, A) |
