This analysis course is for anyone interested in exploring the musical languages expressed within a wide variety of 20th-century American symphonic works. We will explore works by diverse American composers, contextualize their practices via short readings, and develop several analytical approaches to illuminate their music. Special emphasis will be placed on the development of a nuanced foundation from which students will learn to respond critically to the discourse of culturally responsive intersectional analysis.
