This course offers a broad overview of black music in the U.S., spanning from its African genesis to the contemporary era. While there is a significant historical component to this course, the focus is on critically engaging with the aesthetics, the compositional formats, and the performance methodologies of various iterations of African-American music in a way that furthers our understanding of the concept of black music in America.
