AUMUS 421 - Music and Gender

★ 3 (fi 6) (either term, 0-3s-0) Criticism of Western art music has undergone a profound change as new modes of critical thought reveal new areas of meaning in the traditional repertoire. Well-known examples of Western art music and of issues related to this tradition are examined through the perspectives of feminist theory and queer theory (gay and lesbian studies).
