MUH 124 - Music of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries

3 CR

In this course, we will look at significant “snapshot moments” in recent and contemporary music across a wide range of genres such as blues, jazz, rock, contemporary classical, electronic and computer music, and hip hop. We will listen to, read about, discuss, and write about music that will sometimes be familiar, and at other times be quite new to us. We will open our ears to the unexpected, and learn something about ourselves and about the fascinating causes and effects of musical creation and consumption in our society. For the non-music major.
