  SOO 16: Social Organization of Music in North India

  One Credit Course to be offered by VRPP Prof. Vidya Shah

  Course Objectives: The course introduces the students to social dynamics that have structured the musical traditions of India – specifically the North.  While introducing participants to the various genres of traditional music from North India, it will discuss the cultural and social matrix in which Hindustani music is nurtured, listened to, cultivated, and consumed in contemporary India. As Neuman poses, this dynamic highlights the drama of a great musical tradition engaging a changing world, and presents the adaptive strategies its practitioners employ to practice their art. The course will consist of a combination of lectures, discussion and reading, field visits and writing exercises.
