MUS 017 - (AA, CC) Introduction to the Sikh Musical Tradition

Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring
This course, the first of its kind taught in a western university, is designed to offer students an introduction to the Sikh musical tradition, combining aural and oral training in the repertoire with the study of the cultural context in which it developed in northwest India between the late 15th and 20th centuries. Classes are based on the analysis of the theoretical, historical, and cultural aspects of the Sikh musical tradition (Gurbani Sangit), followed by vocal and instrumental practice of basic repertoires. Course activities include lectures and concerts by visiting scholars from abroad, and student research projects and fieldwork among the local Sikh community.
