MUS 126 SC - Music in East Asia and Diaspora

CrsNo MUS 126 SC

This course introduces the “traditional” music of China, Korea and Japan and explores the ways in which traditional performing arts have been transformed, adapted and given new meanings in these modern nation-states and the East Asian diasporic communities of the United States. A survey of these musical traditions will be followed by a closer study of pungmul, kabuki, taiko, Chinese opera, and pansori.
