What is American Music? What does the idea of \u201cAmerican\u201d music making mean for different University of Iowa artists and audiences?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what ways have University of Iowa musicians, audiences, conductors, critics, and historians contributed to the musical identity of the United States? In what ways might they do so in the future?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students of the Fall 2018 offering of the graduate musicology seminar<\/a><\/span> in American music invite you to consider these questions as they relate to <\/span>the place of American music in the past, present, and future of the University of Iowa School of Music.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cExploring Our Sounds\u201d <\/span>exhibit, which is on display throughout the Spring 2019 semester on the first floor of the Voxman Music Building, showcases our responses to these questions. Throughout the semester, we will be posting on the objects and themes of this exhibit in greater depth. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you return to the blog and participate in “exploring our sounds.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning Your Visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Bring headphones and a mobile device so you can hear what you are reading about.
    <\/strong>Where possible, we have provided <\/span>direct <\/span>access to the different traditions of American music making discussed in the form of a digital music playlist. <\/span>Examples were selected to further illustrate points in our exhibit text, and to encourage broader enjoyment of the diverse sounds and styles that make up the traditions of American music making at the University of Iowa.
    <\/span><\/span>The Exhibit Playlist can be accessed at     https:\/\/bit.ly\/2TAom3t<\/a><\/strong>, or by scannable QR code at the exhibit.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Look out for theme clusters: “Curriculums,” “Student Musical Life,” and “Composers.”
    <\/strong>Over the semester, we conducted individual studies of the displayed items, drawn from the Rita Benton Music Library collections, and then worked together to put our independent work in dialogue with that of our colleagues. The \u201cCurriculums,\u201d \u201cStudent Musical Life,\u201d and \u201cComposers\u201d areas of the exhibit are the results of these collaborative efforts. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Be ready to explore further.
    <\/strong>The dotted lines running throughout the exhibit are representative of the broader thematic connections that crisscross the different areas and aspects of the \u201cExploring Our Sounds\u201d Exhibit. The expected and unexpected links that are made between \u201cAmerican\u201d sounds, university programming, local community traditions, and more, should leave you thinking about the questions we asked above.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
