Credit(s): 3

NARRATIVES OF WORLD MUSIC
Component: Lecture
As a part of the Narrative Sequence of the 200 level Music History requirement, this course introduces students to world music materials, to understand not only the main methods of ethnomusicology - fieldwork and ethnography - but also the historical aspect of Music Studies, particularly using narratives. Each semester will focus on critical themes and geographical regions that allow for the exploration of various musical genres around the world, focusing on musical styles as well as on individual/group of artists. Special attention will be given to the way in which the musical genres and styles interact within the socio-political contexts and the diverse methodologies through which scholars have approached a variety of materials such as those related to world music.
