DescriptionThis 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.
