Music (Mu)
The Department of Music aims to broaden the exposure to and enrich the understanding of the various musical traditions of the world. Courses address the materials of tonal music in the Western tradition, the analysis of individual works, the study of composers and genres, non-Western and vernacular repertories, musical composition, critical approaches to music, and the role of music in society. The program in music provides a background both for graduate work in music and for study in other fields. The department also sponsors a number of performance organizations and concert series.
