    MUSIC HISTORY M73 April 14, 2017 To: Muriel Mc Clendon, Chair General Education Governance Committee Attn: Myrna Dee C. Kikuchi, Program Representative A265 Murphy Hall Mail Code: 157101 From: Elisabeth Le Guin Department of Musicology RE: Proposal for GE credit for Music History M73 and 69 On behalf of the department of Musicology, I am submitting the attached proposals to allow our new courses, Music History M73: Music & Religion in Popular Culture and Music History 69: Music & Politics, to satisfy the university’s GE requirement in Visual and Performance Arts Analysis and Practice, Historical Analysis, and Social Analysis effective Fall 2017. These innovative new courses were designed with the principles of general education in mind and were created in an attempt to meet the increased demand for diverse popular music courses. The Department of Musicology has been proposing new GE that address the aspects of listening and music that intersect with other disciplines such as social sciences, history, ethics, and politics. We would also like to use the experience and expertise of Professors Shana Redmond and Mark Kligman, whose research is addressing these topics. Please note that although courses in Music History have tended to be classified under “Visual and Performance Art Analysis and Practice,” we are applying for Historical and Social Analysis GE credit, as well, in view of both the interdisciplinary nature of the topic and the broad spectrum of approaches explored in the course. If you have any questions or require further clarification on our proposal, I can be reached at [email protected] or 310-206-5187.

  • Artifacts and Jewish Spiritual Resistance During the Holocaust
    Artifacts and Jewish Spiritual Resistance During the Holocaust Tammie Senders Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education, Yeshiva University Artifact: Shofar Age of students: 9th grade and above Length of plan: Two 40-45-minute classes Opportunities for Differentiation: Items marked in red Behavioral Objective: Students will be able to identify how turning to Judaism and Jewish ritual helped Jews generally resist the horrors of the Holocaust and why the shofar specifically was an important spiritual tool that Jews utilized for this purpose. Materials: YouTube clips, PRISM essay and worksheet, Yad Vashem article and worksheet, paper, markers, pens, computers/iPads Anticipatory Set: Teacher should play the following link for students (sound of shofar being blown) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb0A_cPlHlk&list=PL2ApEsoj7vdfwwDHW2wwilb aN7nU-889q&index=3 and ask students to listen and answer the following three questions: 1. What did that sound like? 2. Where would you imagine that sound would be played? 3. How did that sound make you feel? After students share their answers, identify this sound as a shofar, a Jewish ritual horn that is sounded in the month leading up to the holiday of Rosh Hashanah and then on the holiday itself. This is an object that is meant to “awaken” the Jewish people and drive 1 them to do teshuva, repentance for their sins. It is a vehicle for bringing the Jewish people closer to God, and to each other. It is meant to elicit an emotional response and to let Jews feel that God is present in their lives and that He will respond to their actions with forgiveness.
