ARFA 830 - Music and America3 credits
By the end of the nineteenth century, America was asserting itself in the arts. The Broadway musical became a center for compositional creativity. Jazz spread from New Orleans to across the country. American dances in the twentieth century set world styles and fads. Film, and later to a less central degree television, became a medium for musical expression. American composers filled concert halls with their music. American musicians became world stars in swing, country, folk, rock & roll, rock, hip-hop, rap and musical theater. Students may explore various topics relating American music to American culture. In doing so, it will draw upon the wide diversity of American composers such as Stephen Foster, Amy Beach, Scott Joplin, Duke Ellington, Aaron Copland, Florence Price, Meredith Monk, and others.
