Senior Seminar: Music in Peace and Conflict

In this course students will explore various circumstances of human conflict under which music is created, and apply accumulated knowledge of general areas of musical analysis and practice towards a comprehensive understanding of music in society in and out of crisis. Students will study aspects of music history, theory, composition, world music, and performance in instances of conflict and in efforts towards peace. Students pursuing senior work will also explore ways to incorporate this study into their projects. 3 hrs. lect./disc.
