ETHN 100 - Introduction to Musics of the World

CD
Second Semester. This course, for students with a basic knowledge of Western music theory, explores five areas drawn from the following: Africa, India, Indonesia, Japan, Europe, Native America, North America, South America. A dual focus on sociology (the musicians, their roles, their audience) and musicology (the instruments, elements of style, and compositional principles) is pursued through a field project, aural analysis, transcription, and in-class performance. For a similar course assuming no music knowledge see CMUS 103.
