The track in history, theory, and ethnomusicology involves
extensive work in analyzing the interplay between composers,
musicians, patrons, and cultural influences or historical events
as they relate to the development of a particular musical style,
genre, or idea.
Track Description
At the end of the track, students should be able to synthesize a
piece of research into a sound thesis. Students who choose a
track in history often continue their studies at a graduate level
in the field of musicology. Those who wish to pursue particularly
intensive studies in history should elect to take the honors
track in place of the regular track. Students wishing to focus on
ethnomusicology within the history, theory, and ethnomusicology
track should consult their adviser as well as a member of the
ethnomusicology faculty.
