Prerequisite: MHMUS 311 . New York City, with residents from all over the world, is arguably the most diverse city in the world. Nearly 200 languages are spoken here, including indigenous languages and numerous dialects from regions all over the globe. That spirit of plurality has made New York a world leader in communication and creativity in theater, journalism, literature, visual art, publishing, fashion, and music. This class explores where music and New York’s vibrant cultural heritage intersect, continually transforming and enriching the identity of this iconic city. Assignments will include readings, city explorations, weekly listening assignments, short papers, and an in-class presentation.
