Title: Global Persp Music Cul & Id
Course Section Number: MUS-224-01
Department: Music
Description: HYBRID COURSE. In this course we will study pieces of music, composers, performers, and musical practices that reflect and shape national identities. Special attention will be given to musical traits and styles that define specific nationalities. Language and lyrics definitely help to shape national identity, but this course focuses on musical characteristics and compositional techniques that have been employed and recognized as representative of certain nations. Topics will include folk songs (from European and American traditions), orchestral pieces (from the Baroque French overture to Copland's Lincoln Portrait), national anthems (as studied by ethnomusicologists), and popular songs composed in the wake of and response to national disasters and political turmoil.
