This course focuses primarily on North American English-language styles but makes reference to other popular musics from around the world. It begins with a survey of popular musics of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, includes a unit on older 19th and 20th century forms, and concludes with music from the recent past. This course engages the sounds, form and structure of popular musics, but it also examines how these musics address, sustain, and transform their social context.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
