MUS 4620 - Music in the Multicultural United States
This course is intended to give students an overview of the two contributing cultures and their musics found in this country, from the songs of rural Appalachia and New England to the African music brought by the slaves; to the musics that grew out of those traditions, from the popular musics of the cities to the songs of Latin Americans and European minorities. We will trace the way these musics live in the modern city, in the academic world and in contemporary music society. (Nettl, 1976)
The student will be introduced to the study of music as a manifestation of human need and a representation of culture. The course uses music as an index to understand American culture while it introduces the student to various concepts in the field of ethnomusicology. (Nettl, 1976)
