MUS 350 - Survey of World Music

Unit(s): 3

This course provides an exploration into the big issues that inform ethnomusicological research, that is the ethnographic study of music as both a phenomenon of sound and a phenomenon of culture. In focusing on particular musical traditions, we will not only uncover the components that make the music unique in the world, but also examine the ways in which the music works in the life of its participants from social, religious, and political perspectives.
