Welcome - Music Since 1945 MUSC 5353   Music Since 1945
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This seminar explores themes in the history of music after 1945. This period is so recent that there is not a standard narrative for it, and the very premise of a single absolute narrative is called into question. We will focus throughout this course on music's meaning in contemporary society, with critical attention to issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Whether we are exploring avant-garde experimentation, the historical performance movement, jazz, rock, or rap, our aim will be to examine how the music engages with its social and political surroundings, and how it shapes and is shaped by historical circumstances and context.
