    Description
    This course presents a survey of world music and introduces the field of ethnomusicology. The cultural contributions and influences of music and traditions in the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania, and Europe are emphasized. Historical, cultural, philosophical, and social conditions in which music exists, its relationship to cultural continuity and/or change, as well as the artistic conditions in which musics and cultures develop are explored through three primary lenses: sound, concept, and behavior.
