Description: MUS-204-01=ASI-204-01 The standard approach to this ASI 204-01/MUS 204-01 course this Fall '21 at Wabash College, is to start with an introductory survey and examination of a wide range and selection of traditional folk musical instruments affiliated with the East Asian cultures. The selected East Asian traditional folk instruments will be used to provide an introductory basis and examination for the study of their contextual as well as societal significance in the respective East Asian cultural societies. Beyond the instruments and their roles in producing musical sound, this course also examines the significant ceremonies, rites, and rituals enhanced by the folk music. In addition to the music, this class also serves as a forum for learning about the selected East Asian cultures as case studies. The selected cultures will include those from: China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Laos, Burma, Philippines, and Malaysia.
