Protest/propaganda/social — Defining our terms

4/1/2019

15 Comments

 
In our first class, we began considering our initial conceptions of what a few foundational terms mean:

protest song
propaganda song
socially conscious song


What's similar about those terms? What's different? Are they applied within certain contexts?

A chief goal of this course will be to carry forward these preconceived notions and begin applying them to the music and theory we will encounter — and to see what changes, if anything, about them. Will they work the way we think they will? Will they require updating?

Participation! Assist in creating that record by posting the definitions you wrote down during or after class, in the comments here (before class on Wednesday).
