黄色直播鈥檚 Department of Music is now offering its first graduate program: a master鈥檚 degree in musicology.
Applications are already trickling into the department for the new program, which begins in September.
鈥淲e have a critical mass of people here active in their research careers and interested in music in relation to culture,鈥� says Jennifer Bain, associate professor in the Department of Music. 鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of enthusiasm to do this.鈥�
Musicology is the academic study of music. Students who enroll in the program will have the opportunity to investigate music鈥檚 role and meaning in social and historical contexts, through text-based analysis informed by cultural studies. Seminars will focus on specific composers, eras and genres, an example being the music and culture in 蹿颈苍-诲别-蝉颈猫肠濒别 Paris.
Professors involved in setting up the new program include Dr. Bain, Steve Baur, J茅r么me Blais, David Schroeder and Jacqueline Warwick.
