Cultures of Music: Germany and Beyond
GERMAN 286 A / C LIT 251 B / GLITS 251 B
Music is often claimed to be a universal language that transcends cultural and national boundaries. But music always emerges from a particular culture and has often been used to create exclusive groups and incite hatred as well as love. In this course, we will explore the history of musical experience in Germany and beyond. We will listen to Bach and Turkish-German hiphop artists, watch films about Mozart and Cabaret, read influential texts in music theory and ethnomusicology, and even have a night at the opera.
*This course is taught in English, and there are no prerequisites.
