Special Studies in Music Since 1900
Section 44108
- Note: Topic: Irish Music at Home and in the Diaspora Course description: Over the past two centuries, Irish music has flourished despite some of the most dramatic societal changes in the history of mankind. Traditional music and modern musical genres working within the trope of nostalgia have served as markers of cultural identity throughout the Irish diaspora, and have anchored a wide variety of fundamental movements within music - from early Christian chant to the Folk Revival to Riverdance to Kneecap. This course will view Irish music through a historical survey of musical genres, and will use these examples as a window into fundamental paradigm shifts in music, performance practice, audio technology, and cultural message over the past two hundred years in Ireland and the Irish diaspora.
