This document provides brief information about a country, including its flag, location, national football team, and weather patterns. It notes that the country has cold winters with snow and warmer summers with changing weather. Additional questions are posed but not answered.
This document discusses using role-playing games in musicology teaching and research. It proposes modeling investigative processes and pattern recognition through incremental activities. This allows framing history as contingent rather than inevitable, and resists canonical approaches. The author details using role-playing in his "Music of the Long 20th Century" course, dividing students into characters to experience pivotal events like premieres. Students research characters to stage watershed moments, seeing history as imaginative rather than memorization. This practice-based approach engages students and challenges presumptions.
Team Sauron on Yezget Nas1lsinez's "The Myth of the Eagles"Christopher Smith
The document discusses Yezget Nas1lsinez's piece "The Myth of the Eagles", which premiered in Paris in 1922. The music of the piece was described as "hideous" by one critic but Nas1lsinez said it was best understood by children and animals. It is seen as influential on modernism and had an impact on Aaron Copland's American ballet works of the late 1930s through his connection with Nadia Boulanger, who knew both composers. The piece drew from primitivism, nationalism, and folklore but also caused some controversy.
This document outlines the course overview, goals, topics and requirements for MUHL5321, an ethnomusicology course. It provides definitions of ethnomusicology from reference texts and the course website. The study of music in cultural and social contexts is discussed. Historical influences including linguistics, anthropology and musicology are reviewed. Examples of early ethnomusicological fieldwork are presented to illustrate studying music within cultures. Students will observe and analyze a musical community firsthand for a practice fieldwork assignment. The course will also discuss historiography, methodologies, and conceptualizing fieldwork to define musical communities.

This document provides an overview and introduction to a course on Ireland. It discusses key themes that will be covered, including Yeats's concept of "gyres" to describe the cyclical nature of history and experience. Students are introduced to Irish culture, folklore, topography, and the role of music and storytelling in preserving history and culture, especially among Irish communities in exile. Readings are assigned from Glassie, Carson, and O hAllmhurain to explore these topics further for the next class. Videos are also shared showing the social context and role of traditional Irish music.

The document summarizes Dr. Christopher Smith's presentation on energizing students through participatory learning methods. Some key points discussed include:
- Drawing on vernacular pedagogies from places like West Africa that engage students through oral traditions, storytelling, imitation and other intuitive teaching modes.
- Teaching in ways that align with students' expert learning styles both ancient and modern, rather than solely lecture-based approaches.
- Exploiting patterns, memory, orality and other archetypal teaching methods to more effectively engage students in problem-solving and demonstration of concepts.
- Encouraging faculty to identify the archetypal narratives in their own disciplines and ways of linking teaching methods more
1. The document discusses incorporating vernacular literatures into the classroom to explore cultural identity through music.
2. It argues that paying attention to vernacular literatures, which are precise expressions of particular cultures, can provide relevance beyond just ancient works.
3. Examples are provided of folk songs and poems that could be used to teach concepts through patterns, stories, and participation rather than just transmitting data.
The document discusses the meaning of advocacy in the arts and music. It states that advocacy means thinking, speaking, and engaging in arts presentations that celebrate the relevance, immediacy, and emotional reward of the arts for all community members. It also means finding ways to make repertoires and performances accessible to audiences unfamiliar with the work so they feel empowered to learn more and get involved. Advocacy is about demonstrating and celebrating the positive forces that drew practitioners to the arts and providing similar experiences for audiences.
