MUSC-Music Courses MUSC 1010 CA - Introduction to Music (3) An introduction to music, its elements, language, and historical development. The course focuses on European and American music with components of jazz, world, and popular genres. Concert attendance outside of regularly scheduled class time is required. Not available to music majors. MUSC 1030 CA - Introduction to Jazz (3) A survey of jazz in America, including blues, ragtime, Dixieland, swing, bebop, cool, and fusion. Concert attendance outside of regularly scheduled class time is required. MUSC 1033 CA - Introduction to American Music (3) Survey of music in America, including classical, jazz, rock, folk, and ethnic, within the context of American history. MUSC 1035 CA - History of Rock and Roll (3) This course is a survey of Rock Music styles from ca. 1950 to the present. We also discuss pre- and pro to- rock styles such as Jazz, Blues, and popular song, reaching back into the late nineteenth century. In the course we will not only study the changing history of rock music (which requires discussion of non-rock music as well), but also the cultural forces that gave rise to those changes. Because of this historical perspective, our approach will be largely chronological, with an eye toward how various styles influenced one another. MUSC 1040 CA/DV - Music of World Cultures (3) An introduction to the music of cultures around the world, including India, Middle East, China, Japan, Indonesia, Sub- Saharan Africa, Europe, Latin America, Caribbean, Native American music, and Ethnic North America. The course discusses the influence of music on, and its relationship to, the various cultures and populations. MUSC 1043 HU - Music, the Arts & Civilizations (3) This course is a chronological introduction to mostly western music that also explores its relationship to the other arts. MUSC 1063 CA - Music in Religion (3) An introduction to music in world religions and how it has shaped the history of man. Specific religious works and specific composers from numerous world denominations will be discussed: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism. Major religious works from European art music will be explored. Weber State University 2012-2013 Catalog |
