MUS 340 - Music in World Cultures


3 Credits
ARR

This course provides an introduction to traditions of music in global perspective, exploring music as both sound and culture. The focus of this course is not tradition music per se, but is rather “music of traditions.” The course will examine everything from folk and art music genres to a variety of contemporary genres including jazz and rock. Music as an expression of cultural worship and its use in missions and ministry will also be discussed. This course is open to both musicians and non-musicians. Students will participate in the planning and presentation of a chapel/worship service in multi-cultural styles.
