251. Topics in Music. (4). (HU).
Section 001 - Across Borders: The Imagery of the East in the Music of the
West. The aim of this course is to place the European musical tradition
within the context of the different musical cultures. The course will combine
the ethnomusicological and musicological approaches by discussing European
music not as an isolated phenomenon, but as a constant exchange between
Eastern and Western cultures. The idea of "West" and "East"
proposed in the title of this section will be deconstructed by exploring
the question of Diaspora - the spread and intermixture of various cultures,
particularly Mediterranean.
This course is a chronological excursion though different historical periods, with discussions of musical types, genres, composers, and pieces. At the beginning of the course, we will explore chronologically both influences and representations of the East. For instance, we will study how, in later centuries, the reorganization of Christian church and the formulation of Gregorian chant coincided with the emergence of Islam and the tradition of Qur'anic recitation. We will also discuss how the art of the European troubadours parallels the tradition of the Jewish hasan, Turkish ashiks and Arabic poets.
We will observe that the separation of East and West surprisingly increased
in the age of the geographic "discovery" when the cultural connections
began to appear on a different level. For example, during the European renaissance,
baroque, and especially classical periods, musicians repeatedly rediscovered
the imagery of the East. In the romantic era, the panorama of European music
expanded, including eastern regions such as Hungary and Russia. The latter
had its own "East," represented in Russian classical music.
We will find out that at the end of the nineteenth century, like Gauguin
in art, many musicians and composers sought their identities in historical
or territorial distance. The interest to the distant cultural idioms became
a signature of the musical modernism. Finally, we will enter the twentieth
century which began with a new musical Diaspora, including Stravinsky, Schoenberg,
and many others. (Later even the popular attempted to connect West and East.)
It is hoped that this course will provide students with knowledge of European
musical history in the context of world musical diversity. This course will
give students a sense of their place in an historical/geographical/cultural
continuum. (Naroditskaya)
