MUS 301 Music History: Social, Political, and Religious Influences, 1000-1820

In Music History I, we study the historical and cultural contexts of Western music from the Medieval era through the mid-19th Century. Music is not composed in a vacuum, so it is imperative that we explore the influence of art, cultural, and sociopolitical conditions. How do literature, humanism, war, and religion impact music? Required of music majors. Open to all students.
