[edit] Description from course catalog
- This course, for students with a basic knowledge of Western music theory, explores five areas drawn from the following: Africa, India, Indonesia, Japan, Europe, Native America, North America, South America. A dual focus on sociology (the musicians, their roles, their audience) and musicology (the instruments, elements of style, and compositional principles) is pursued through a field project, aural analysis, transcription, and in-class performance.
[edit] Prerequisites / Notes
- For a similar course assuming no music knowledge see CMUS 103.
[edit] Opinions
Beyond awesome. An excellent big-picture look at some world musics'. I would highly suggest this course. --68.118.193.232, 19 May 2008
