MUS 104 - Introduction to American Music

Semester Hours: 4

A study of the panorama of American music tracing the origins of indigenous Indian tribal music, to the psalm-singing colonials, to the African slaves. Folk music, opera, popular song, marches, and dance tunes are viewed in their historical contexts. The Singing School movement, shaped-note hymnody, classical music, jazz, and rock are also considered.
