    Description
    This course is an introduction to music of the Western Tradition. Students will develop analytical listening skills to access and comprehend meanings, functions, and perspectives of music production specific to traditionally understood eras in art history, such as Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Twentieth Century, and Contemporary. Students will learn how social aspects, such as race, age, ethnicity, gender, and socio-economic forces influence the ways in which music is produced and received in a variety of social, historical, and cultural contexts.
