The interaction of music and culture can be studied with a 音乐的历史 degree at Pacific. This can be done as a stand-alone BM degree or as a minor in conjunction with any other BM degree.

Though all conservatory students study some music history in order to contextualize musical trends, 作曲家, and individual musical works, the opportunity to major in 音乐的历史 at the undergraduate level is somewhat rare. Students in a 音乐的历史 degree at Pacific receive a broad exposure to musical eras and genres that encourages development of communication and re搜索 skills applied to music. 音乐的历史 majors at Pacific have gone on to Ph.D. musicology and ethnomusicology programs, archival and librarianship programs, popular writing or criticism on musical figures, and conducting careers; they have also used music history to inform their performance careers or their work as music educators, 分析师, 或作曲家. You will be assured of several opportunities to practice and acquire the tools of the profession, through coursework and ample independent study and personal attention to your future goals. Recent students have had re搜索 projects ranging from Schoenberg’s relationship with Mahler, French baroque music, and individual works by Beethoven and Mendelssohn to examinations of hyperpop, Black opera 作曲家, and women orchestral 作曲家. The department encourages development of broad values regarding the music we listen to, 组成, 支持, 或执行.

If you are interested in this program, please schedule a personal meeting with program director Dr. 莎拉·华尔兹 on the day of your audition or another time to evaluate what the program has to offer.

Listen with someone else's ears

"Our students have the rare opportunity to major in 音乐的历史 with the 支持 of a full liberal arts college on campus. I encourage you to consider how others have thought about music in other times and places because listening with someone else’s ears opens up worlds within the music and yourself."
