MUL 226 - American Popular Music: 1865-1965, 3 credit hours


Examines the evolution of American popular music in its social, political, and cultural contexts from the Civil War to the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. An exploration of the century during which distinctive American musical styles, functions, sounds, and identities were established will reveal way the music develops, assimilates, and changes within its social and political contexts. In addition, the consideration of cultural contexts, geographic perspectives, and racial issues offer paths toward insight into the character, influence, and purposes of music in America.
