The main goal of this course is to provide an overview of the development of Western Music, Jazz, Popular Music, and World Music from 1900 to the present. The course is lecture-based, organized chronologically, and will focus on changes in musical style throughout the time period, and seek correlations among music and other disciplines--reminding students to make specific connections with disciplines they have experienced in general education courses outside the department. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Music and BMus-Music students.

This course is open to BMUS-Music & BA-Music majors only.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
