MHS 594
Latin American Musical Modernisms
June 29- July 31, 2026/ Week 1-2 in person, Week 3-5 online| Tuesday and Thursday 12 PM – 3:45 PM
Description: This course examines how musical currency has been understood in the Latin American region from around 1900 and into the 1970s. The music of the period paradoxically unites the classic and the contemporary, the foreign and the local, the colonized and the decolonized, and the tonal and departures from the tonal. Critically engaging with shifting conceptions of “modernism,” we examine celebrated figures such as Alberto Ginastera, Carlos Chávez, Leo Brouwer, and Tania León along with lesser-known composers such as Felipe Boero, Carmen Barradas, and Julián Carrillo.
