Description:
Two perspectives are developed: 1) diverse music of
groups in America and 2) American music as a unique
phenomenon. Groups considered are African, Asian, European,
Hispanic/Latino, and Native American. Lectures and musical
examples are organized by topics such as music of
socio-economic subgroups within large groups, survival of
culture, pan-ethnicity, religious and concert music, and
the folk-popular music continuum. This course satisfies
the American cultures requirement.
