MUS-119: Music in World Cultures
- 3 Credit Hours
- Visual and Performing Arts Department
- Fall 2025
Course Description
A diverse overview of classical, popular, and folk music traditions comprising various world cultures. The objectives of the course are to closely examine how we define what music is and what social and cultural roles it serves in our lives. Students will listen to music from other cultures and analyze how the music reflects differences in the way that another society defines music and its role in their lives. Through well-reasoned arguments, students will compare and contrast both cultures and their music, examining cultural bias as it relates to their own music and culture. The course will also explore the role of music as ritual, mode of communication, work accompaniment and artistic expression. Three class hours, two experiential hours.
