This class is an exploration of several music traditions from around the world with an emphasis on music's role on the larger cultural/social context of each geographical area. Students will analyze how people use or have used folk, popular, and art music in different societies from four major geographic areas: Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Each of the areas will be the focus of a course unit of approximately three weeks that will feature a live performance by a guest artist. (Gen. Ed. AT, DG)
