MUSC-322 American Concert Music
Offered academic year 2010-2011
No faculty information available
This course is an overview of American music in the concert hall. The line between “classical” and “popular” musics in the United States is a fluid one, and while the course will focus on so-called “art music,” a number of American traditions including jazz, popular, and religious music will be explored. Students should expect to listen to composers as diverse as William Billings, Charles Ives, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, John Cage, and Elliott Carter. In doing so we will hear how American composers developed a distinct American sound. Students should expect significant listening and reading assignments, class presentations, and exams. All students need to be able to read music at a basic level.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: ARTM/MUSC-141; one of the following: MUSC-114, 115, or 116 or ARTM-004, 005, 021 or 025
