Ethnomusicology of the Americas: Music, Language, and Identity

This yearlong seminar may also be taken as a yearlong component in a Music Third. (Please see the course description under the listing of full courses—seminars with conferences—that constitute one-third of a student’s total program.) This is one of the music history component courses required for all Advanced Theory students and is also open to students who have completed the theory sequence. No musical experience is necessary. Participation in Gamelan Angklung Chandra Buana (fall) is required for all students taking this course, though occasional exceptions may be granted by the instructor. Participation in African Percussion Ensemble Faso Foli (spring) is optional but encouraged.
