In this course we will take a global-historical approach to the “baroque,” decentering our understanding of its associated music-makings in the 16th to 18th centuries as well as its postcolonial continuities in our present time. By adopting a polycentric perspective, we will study the history of what is often referred to as “Western (art) music” and its relationship to European colonialism, trade, and Christian missionizing in this period. These global networks of power will be explored through a series of connected vignettes ranging from the early modern imperial courts and trading ports of South, Southeast, and East Asia, to the reducciones of South America and beyond. A focus on surviving repertoire from these regions will encourage you to think not only about a more diverse range of music-makers in history, but to also question the “Europeanness” of these musical traditions both past and present, taking seriously Indigenous contributions to and ownership of these musics. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Graduate class standing. Restricted to students in the Music department.
