Write a 750-1000 word reflection (three to four, double-spaced typed pages), drawing on class readings, discussion threads, and your own personal interests and experiences on the notion of music as heritage, as mobile, traveling heritage. How can does music evolve as an expression of heritage and for what reasons do individuals and communities depend on a sense of heritage and on music as expressive of this sense of heritage? Please offer concrete examples. Thoughtful speculation about cultural milieus and perspectives that you don’t have in-depth first hand knowledge of is fine, encouraged even, but please bear in mind that I will grade based on how thoughtful, engaged, and thorough your reflections are and how careful your writing is.
