Performance Throughout each academic year the Depart ment of Music and Cultural Events sponsor more than 50 formal and in formal con- certs and recitals by campus en sembles, stu- dents, members of the performance faculty, and distinguished visiting art ists. The depart - ment also sponsors the UCR Contemp orary Music Series. Most of the Music Department concerts are open to the public.

Facilities The department’s facilities include an electronic/ computer music studio, practice rooms equipped with Steinway and Yamaha pianos, teaching studios, a carillon console, and computerized ear training equipment. The instrument collection, in addition to complete families of the modern orchestral and band instruments, is particularly rich in historical replicas: three pipe organs, two harpsichords, virginal, clavichord, forte-piano, lutes, theorbo, viols, and a large group of Renaissance and Baroque wind instruments. The depart ment also owns the instruments for three Asian ensembles: Javanese gamelan, Japanese Taiko, and Filipino Rondalla.

The UCR library has strong music research col- lections located in three facilities. Approx - imately 35,000 books about music may be found in the Rivera Library, along with journal backfiles and microforms. The Music Library, located in room 054 Arts Building (lower level), provides listening equipment and houses col- lections of some 12,000 LPs, more than 2,000 CDs, and 22,000 music scores. A growing col- lection of audio CD-ROMs is also available. The library’s collections of film, video tapes, and laser discs, along with playback equipment, are housed in the Media Library, located in the Humanities and Social Sciences building. Online access to these collections and a variety of electronic resources is provided through MELVYL (the UC online catalog) and the library’s electronic catalog, INNOPAC.

A Music major not only gains a knowledge and awareness of music as a worldwide cultural phenomenon but develops critical acumen through a manifold approach to sound in its many cultural settings. Historical, ethnographic and critical studies are complemented and deepened by music-writing and auditory skills (developed largely in the context of Western music), and by ensemble performance (avail- able in Indonesian, Philippine, Japanese and Latin American as well as traditional Western forms) and by individual instrumental or vocal study.

The Music and Culture major offers an ap - proach predominantly scholarly and critical to music as culture from the perspective of research, criticism, and interpretation, with an emphasis on historical and ethnographic approaches. It is oriented primarily toward understanding music as a culturally expressive form. Courses in music and/or dance perform- ance are required but are positioned more broadly within the major as a means to ex plore interrelationships be tween music and other forms of performance.
