The remainder of the course focuses on cultural conceptions of music, examined through the lens of a selection of case studies, including, but not limited to, the music of the Celtic nations, the African continent, Central and West Asia, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the Native American culture groups. To help students develop their music performance vocabulary, students are required to respond to some vocal events with written critiques. Survey of orchestral literature. The Glee Club performs on campus at least once per semester, tours yearly and has performed throughout Pennsylvania, the United States, Europe and New Zealand.
