German 391D - S-Sounds of Germany

Conducted in English. In this course, we will examine the interrelation between music, culture, and society from the late 18th century until the present. Music will be studied in relation to constructions and representations of gender,
ethnicity, and the nation within the German context. We will listen to and discuss musical pieces from diverse genres such as opera, Lieder, rock, rap, punk, metal and pop. In addition to the music itself, course materials will include films and theoretical texts on the cultural study of music.
