MUSIC 2208 - Survey of Western Music II


(HB) (HA-AS)
Spring. 4 credits.

Prerequisite or corequisite: MUSIC 2102 /MUSIC 2104  or permission of instructor.

R. Moseley.

This course, intended for music majors and suitably qualified non-majors, surveys the vast terrain and diverse topography of 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century Western music. The course is designed to develop students’ knowledge of repertory, musical institutions, and social practices; equally importantly, it also aims to equip them with the means to think critically about music, texts, and contexts. Over the course of the semester, students will explore how musical and historical forces configured relationships between the material and the ineffable; the conventional and the idiosyncratic; the organic and the fragmentary; the private and the public; memory and futurism; cities and landscapes; technology and nature; elitism and populism; modernism and folklorism; postmodernism and historicism; and so on.
