MUSC 428 - Music Traditions of Southeast Asia

Units: 3
Intended to introduce the student to some of the musical traditions practiced in Southeast Asia, and to expose him or her to principal themes and issues that necessarily arise when researching music of this area. Characteristics of instruments and instrumental ensembles, sound structures, theatrical traditions, and vocal performance will be among the major musical topics covered in the course. Historical, socio-demographic, political, and even western academic factors shaping contemporary images of Southeast Asian music will also be addressed. Ultimately, by studying just a few traditions, the course will aim to bring home the inexhaustible breadth and depth of Southeast Asia’s musical diversity.
