Bachelor of Arts in Music, History and Literature

at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

Music history is an ideal specialization for students who not only want to perform music, but who are also interested in the development of musical styles, genres, and how these relate to developments in the arts, history and society. Students explore major works, composers and prominent performers in the European and American concert traditions, as well as interconnections with other traditions such as world and folk music. Students hone their critical skills in music research, analysis, writing, listening and musical thought.
