MUS 3880 - The Politics of Artists and Repertoire



Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): MUS1880, MUS 1890, MUS1892

Description: Building directly on MUS 1880: Repertoire and Hit Song Analysis as well as MUS 1892: Artist Discovery and Development, the students in the course examine more advanced concepts and practices in artists and repertoire. While digging deeper into the history of artists and repertoire and record labels, students focus more acutely on the backroom negotiations and deal making that has contributed to success or failure by examining various case studies of iconic figures in this field. Students examine and compare both old and new models of artists and repertoire practice. Ultimately, students gain an understanding of how industry professionals have navigated the complex politics between the various stakeholders in the music industry. Students construct their own personal approach to artists and repertoire by synthesizing various historical methods and techniques in this field.
