    Description

    This course is designed to examine how musical expressions are manifested in particular moments of the United States of America's history, society and culture. Special attention will be given to how the nature, form, function and content of the music are a reflection of the political, economic, aesthetic, historical, social and cultural milieu. The music and songs of the United States of America will be approached with a pedagogy that is both analytical and critical through the use of the historical sources, primary documents, recordings and performances. Addresses GLE Learning Outcomes Humanities (HM), Critical Thinking (CT) and Intercultural Knowledge (IK).
