MUSIC HISTORY M73 PAGE 1 of 14 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.

The expressions of various religious traditions found in popular culture will frame the content of this course. By popular culture this is music of consumption directed to communities through recordings, concerts and/or video. Music of a religious tradition or individual performer will be highlighted, contextualized and serve as the focus. The primary focus of the course is on Jewish and Christian American traditions; other traditions will also be represented. The course will begin with popular music of Jewish traditions by denomination: Orthodox, Conservative and Reform. Contemporary Christian Music or Christian Popular Music will contrast and provide another religious tradition that works with and struggles creating new music in popular culture investigating evangelical, Protestant and other denominations. Further points of contact of new Orthodox and Christian music will be discussed looking into various media examples. The survey will conclude with consideration of other traditions and influences: Arabic and Middle Eastern, New Age and its cross fertilization with Native America traditions. 3.

General Knowledge Students will learn how music is situated in context and various methods of interpretation. Larger issues such as retention of tradition and innovation are relevant to popular music in religious communities. The role of religious authority and individual artistry is a core issue. Integrative Learning Integration will be finding the historical context of the music and understanding the genre and style. The song texts will be an important source for understanding what is expressed and its connection to the musical styles. Disciplines included will be: Music, History, Cultural Studies, Jewish Studies, Religious Studies, Literature. Ethical Implications Ethical issues will include how communities respond to adversity and how they frame their ideals in America. Various issues such as separation from mainstream America, persecution (as in the Holocaust) and issues of in-group Jewish and Christian religious identity will be negotiated with larger America values. Cultural Diversity This course will look at communities in America vis-à-vis the surrounding environment. Those who lived in various communities interacted in different neighborhoods and acquired a range of cultural influences. What is retained from tradition and what is acquired in new ideals and musical styles will illustrate a range of diversity. Critical Thinking The issues that arise form the development and creation of new music requires an understanding of how members of religious communities see themselves and want to be seen by others. Analyzing the social context and implications of these choices will be the conceptual challenge. Students will have to think critically to show connections in a range of cultural, musical, and religious contexts. Rhetorical Effectiveness Writing assignments and class discussions will allow students to express their ideas. Problem-solving Developing a concept of identity through various means of personal expression will form interesting problems for analysis of music in various contexts. Library & Information Students will learn how to access both library material in books and articles and Literacy music as well as online resources.

  • When the Music Starts, the Young Men in the Seeach Sod Choir Are No Longer Mentally Challenged Adults Trying to Navigate a Confusing World Around Them
    Singing Their Hearts Out WHEN THE MUSIC STARTS, THE YOUNG MEN IN THE SEEACH SOD CHOIR ARE NO LONGER MENTALLY CHALLENGED ADULTS TRYING TO NAVIGATE A CONFUSING WORLD AROUND THEM. MICROPHONES IN HAND, THEIR VOICES EMERGE FROM A DEEP PLACE IN THEIR SOUL WHERE BARRIERS NO LONGER EXIST BY Meir Wolfson PHOTOS Matis Goldberg, Yinon Fuchs 46 MISHPACHA 27 Av 5772 | August 15, 2012 MISHPACHA 47 Singing Their Hearts Out The Key To TheirSouls Did Reb Shlomo Carlebach envision this moving rendition of his “Tov L’hodos LaShem” when he wrote his classic melody to those words so many years ago? If you were sitting at the Siyum HaShas in Jerusalem’s Binyanei Hauma on Sunday, August 5, you might have been one of those who burst into spontaneous clapping and rose to dance to the electrified beat. Among flashing cameras and stage lights, the excited ten-man Pirchei Seeach choir opened their act in perfect sync, and then gave way to the clear, sweet voice of their star soloist, “Avremel,” whose powerful notes and perfect harmony transfixed the crowd. At that point, you might have taken a second look at the stage to remind yourself who Avremel is. Avremel is a severely autistic young man in his 20s, so uncommunicative that he cannot respond to any verbal instructions — even from his beloved choir leader, the indefatigable Chaim Sofer. One of the only windows into Avremel’s soul — and those of his fellow choir members — is music. Seeach Sod in Jerusalem cares for 650 children and young adults with disabilities that range from slight emotional difficulties to severe autism and Down syndrome, mainstream- ing them and letting them shine in their own way.

  • Composer Biographies and Annotations
    The Composers — ROBERT APPLEBAUM (bobapplebaum.com) For many years, music was an abiding love but a professional sideline for Robert Applebaum, who taught physics and chemistry at New Trier High School, Winnetka, IL, from 1965 until his retirement in June 2000. He began composing choral music for the Jewish liturgy in 1980 and has written three Sabbath services, including one for choir and jazz trio. He has composed choral settings of many psalms as well as non-secular texts. Professional, community, and children’s choirs throughout the world have performed Applebaum’s music. Chicago a cappella included two of his Chanukah pieces on their 2002 recording Holidays Live and three of his settings of Shakespeare texts on their highly acclaimed 2005 Çedille release, Shall I Compare Thee? His setting of Im Ein Ani Li Mi Li is included on Chicago a cappella’s 2010 recording, Days of Awe and Rejoicing. As a jazz pianist/composer, he has three albums to his credit: Hora and Blue (Global Village, 1993) with the Modern Klezmer Quartet, The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree (jazz piano duos with his son Mark Applebaum (Innova, 2002), and Friday Night Jazz Service (2007). ROBERT APPLEBAUM on El Malei Rachamim “When Cantor Nancy Kassel contacted me with the assignment to set this prayer, my first re- sponse was ‘Thank you for giving me such a juicy text!’. Three images in this text resonated for me: A merciful and compassionate God, the wings of the Shechinah providing shelter and repose, and the binding of the souls of those who have died to Adonai, and by extension, to us, the living.
