MUS 302 Music History: The Influence of Revolution, War, Immigration, and Women's Suffrage, 1820-Present

In Music History II, we study and write about the historical and cultural contexts of Western music from the 19th Century through today. Music is not composed in a vacuum, so it is imperative that we explore the influence of art, cultural, and sociopolitical conditions. How do war, protest, peace, and religion impact music? This course includes classical, jazz, theater, opera, movie music, and contemporary works. Required of music majors. Open to all students.
