MUS003.02: American Music: Covers, Theft, and Musical Borrowing

Offered 25S (2A)

Nearly every genre of American music is marked by its re-invention, adaptation, or outright theft of music from other cultures. We will study a wide cross-section of American music through the prism of musical borrowing. Our perspective includes songwriters, composers, and sound artists in rap, pop, rock, jazz, film, and the avant-garde. Readings on the aesthetics of cover songs, quotations, and plunderphonics will inform our engagement with American music and its sources.
