THE POWER OF MUSIC IN SOCIAL LIFE. Note: This section also meets with ANTH (Note: Dr. Turino holds an appointment in Anthropology.) Investigates the expressive, social, religious, and political functions of music in four diverse societies: Peru, Zimbabwe, India, and the United States. The course will be divided into four units each presenting the music and cultural context of a particular society as well as one or two particular themes. In addition to reading and writing assignments, students will be taught to perform music from the societies studied in units 2-4. The performance component of the course is meant to augment musical understanding through music making to complement the academic study of the musical and cultural traditions. Days one and two of each week will be dedicated to discussing the readings, listening in class, and audiovisual materials to introduce the diverse musical cultures. Day three of each week for units 2-4 will be dedicated to learning to perform the music studied. The instructor has in his possession the instruments necessary to teach the performance component of the course. First Year Discovery Program Course. Registration restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery course. INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Thomas Turino, professor of Musicology and Anthropology. See http://www.music.uiuc.edu/facultyBio.php?id=90.

DISNEY SCORES! MUSIC IN DISNEY'S ANIMATED MUSICALS. Examines the changing role of music within Disney's animated films since the 1930s. Films covered range from the animated shorts and the first full-length features of the early sound era (Silly Symphonies, Snow White, Fantasia) to the rebirth of Disney?s animation division in the late 1980s and 1990s (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, and The Lion King).

MUSIC MULTIPLIED: DIVERSITY AND COLLARBORATION. Dr. Erik Lund, Associate Professor of Composition and Theory. http://www.music.uiuc.edu/facultyBio.php?id=56. A probing exploration of music from multiple and diverse vantage points. Music is made in many ways and often in collaboration with other elements. With an emphasis on recent music, this course will deal with musical diversity with regard to ethnicity and culture, style (e.g. jazz, classical, rock, avant-garde, etc.), methods of composition, types of improvisation, electronic and computer music, and collaborations with other disciplines (e.g. dance, video, literature, science). Beyond class discussions, students will attend musical events, meet with musicians, composers, and experts in particular areas, and have hands-on experiences in areas including world music, dance/music collaborations. The class will also draw on the diversity of musical backgrounds and interests brought to the class by the students. Towards this end, each student will select a relevant topic, of particular interest to them, on which they will write a paper and make a class presentation. First Year Discovery Program Course. Registration restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery course.
