                        354          Jazz & American Popular Music (3)

                                     A study of the development and  

                                     evolution of all styles of Jazz

                                     of their respective cultural milieu.



           RATIONALE:  Whereas these courses were originally designed as

                       electives for non majors, they are now needed as

                       upper division electives for majors.  (Content

                       being revised accordingly).







           II.  CHANGE:  251  Music History & Appreciation I (3) to

                         251  Ethnomusicology (3).



                         A scholarly study of the music of non-western

                         societies, prehistoric, preliterate, ancient,

                         and contemporary.



                CHANGE:  252 Music History & Appreciation II to simply

                         Music History & Appreciation



                         Eliminate "No prerequisites" and add "Not for

                         music majors."



           RATIONALE:   The music student, as any other student at UNCA,

           (by Dr.      must learn to approach his discipline with

           Edwinn)      rigorous scholarship.  As most music study is

                        involved in the performance and creation of music,

                        musicology, taken from the German word and concept

                        Musicwissenshaft, provides this approach.  As it

                        is generally quite foreign to the college students'

                        musical experience, the study of the music of

                        ancient and non-western societies, which for us

                        the Ethnomusicology makes an excellent introduction

                        to the subject.
