JINS 357 - Bayou Blues: French Music in Louisiana

An interdisciplinary investigation of the relationship between music and culture in the French-speaking region of Louisiana. We use the methodologies of musicology and sociology to examine the establishment of distinct Euro-American and African-American musical styles that have developed within a French-speaking society. The emphasis is upon the analysis of a body of music, and the people who make this music, to examine the impact of culture and the transitions of musical style in this region.

Prerequisite: Junior status.
Credits: 3
NOTE:
* This course fulfills the Junior Interdisciplinary Writing-Enhanced Seminar Interconnecting Perspective of the Liberal Studies Program.
