MUS 450 - CUE: Senior Seminar

1 course unit
This seminar for senior music majors explores selected issues and debates in current musicological thought through the application of critical methods from the fields of ethnomusicology, historical musicology, and music theory.  Organized around a series of broad topics, readings for discussion will feature diverse repertories, including Western art music, non-Western art musics, popular musics, and folk musics.  By reaching across scholarly fields and repertories, students will consider a wide range of music and writing about music, and will think critically about the relationships among music, ideas, and society - thereby synthesizing prior department experiences.  The seminar culminates in a major research project on a topic of the student’s choice.
