Course Description: This course introduces students to the music of a variety of world areas. For each unit, students examine a diverse array of genres, analyzing music's relationship to religious life, aesthetics, politics, social organization, and identity. We also discuss the impact of globalization, transnationalism and immigration on the shaping and transformation of musical practice and meaning in each region. Reading materials, listening assignments, and discussion topics are supplemented by in-class performance workshops, designed to give students firsthand experience in non-Western performance traditions. The course will give attention to the music of El Movimiento (the Chicano/a/e movement) of the Rocky Mountain region. This course counts toward the Analytical Inquiry: Society and Culture requirement.
