GSFS 312 - Music by Women

FC ARHU

4 credits
This is an analysis course that focuses primarily on music created by women. Relevant means of creation include composition, sound design, arranging, production/engineering, sampling, dj-ing, improvising, and otherwise performing. Repertoire will include examples selected by the instructor and suggested by enrolled students, with no prescribed chronological or geographical limits. Interpretive analysis will apply a framework developed by the instructor, combined with specialized approaches from the bibliography. For non-music majors, no familiarity with traditional Western music theory is expected. Daily work will include readings, listenings, discussions, and written analysis. The culminating assignment will be a 3,000-word term paper.
Prerequisites & Notes: B.M. in MUTH 202 and 232. B.A. in MUTH 201 and 231. All others: 2nd-year or later.
