The Music Department offers undergraduate majors leading to the B.A. in Music and the B.A. in Music and Culture.

Scholarships Students have access to student assistantships, work-study, Gluck Fellowships, and scholar- ships. For further information or a department tour, call the Music Department, (951) 827-7059.

Performance Throughout each academic year the Department of Music and Cultural Events sponsor more than 50 formal and informal concerts and recitals by campus ensembles, students, members of the performance faculty, and distinguished visiting artists. Most of the Music Department concerts are open to the public.

Facilities The department’s facilities include practice rooms equipped with Yamaha pianos, a Performance Lab, a Chamber Music Studio, and a large lecture/rehearsal hall, as well as smaller classrooms and practice rooms. Practice rooms are available to Music Majors and to students enrolled in an ensemble or in a course with a Voice & Instrument instructor. Students can submit a request for a key to CHASS facilities via the website: https://chassintranet.ucr.edu/ kims. The student’s undergraduate advisor must approve the request.

Lockers for small and medium size instru- ments are available to students inside Arts 068 (Instrument Storage Room). A limited number of lockers next to the Music Library are reserved for large instruments. The department owns a large collection of early-music instruments, including a large number of keyboard instruments, as well as instruments for use in traditional chamber, or- chestral, and wind ensembles. The department also owns the instruments for several Asian ensembles, i.e., Javanese gamelan, Japanese taiko, Philippine rondalla, North Indiana tabla, and Korean drums, as well as for two Latin American ensembles, Andean and Mexican folkloric. The Experimental Acoustic Research Studio (EARS) supports the composition of electronic music and is housed at a location near campus. The department is home to the Center for Iberian and Latin American Music, which sponsors concerts and lectures in addition to maintaining a website and scholarly journal.

The UCR library holds strong music-research collections located in three facilities. Approxi- mately 35,000 books about music may be found in the Rivera Library, along with journal back-files and microforms. The Music Library, located in room 054 Arts Building (lower level), provides listening equipment, computers, and houses col- lections of some 10,000 LPs, more than 7,000 CDs, an authoritative collection of reference works, and over 35,000 music scores. A grow- ing collection of music DVDs is also available in the Music Library. Special Collections, on the 4th floor of the Rivera Library, holds numerous 18th- and 19th-century scores of major German and Austrian composers, as well as the Oswald Jonas and Joaquin Nin-Culmell archives. Locat- ed in the CHASS Interdisciplinary Building, the Multimedia Library houses the UCR Libraries’ collection of media. The collection includes video tapes (VHS), DVDs, Blu-Ray, laserdiscs, CD-ROMS, 16mm motion pictures and playback equipment. Online access to these collections is provided through the UCR Library’s local online catalog, SCOTTY and MELVYL, the UC system libraries’ online catalog. The UCR library homepage, library.ucr.edu, provides access to SCOTTY and MELVYL, as well as links to a wide variety of electronic resources.

The Department of Music offers a Bachelor of Arts in music within the context of a liberal arts curriculum. Students acquire practical knowl- edge of music performance and composition through individual study as well as participation in one or more of the department’s several ensembles. Development of the student’s vocal and/or instrumental technique is enhanced by the study of musicianship, theory, and history, which impart a deeper understanding of the structure of music and the cultural forces that shape it.

Time to degree Time to degree is four years. Freshman year: preparatory courses MUS 001 and MUS 010. Sophomore year: lower division requirements; piano proficiency. Junior year: upper division requirements (130AB, 138, 112ABC), track requirements, and electives. Senior year: upper division track requirements, and electives. Students declare a Major in Music by the end of their freshman year. Students must pass a diagnostic examination at the beginning of their sophomore year and place into MUS 030 and MUS 031 or above. It is strongly suggested that MUS 001 and MUS 010 be taken during the freshman year in preparation for the exam. Transfer students must either take the diagnostic exam or have the equivalent courses articulated.

The Music Major offers three curricular tracks, among which students may choose a concentration:

• 1. Music - General

• 2. Music - Composition

• 3. Music - Performance

The Music and Culture major offers a predom- inantly scholarly and critical approach 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 performance are required but are positioned more broadly within the major as a means to explore interrelationships between music and other forms of performance.

The Department of Music offers the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Music with a specialization in three areas: digital composition, ethnomusicolo- gy, and musicology. Students are encouraged to view music in the broad context of culture: com- munication between the intradisciplinary areas is built into the program, and courses outside the department are either encouraged or required in order to develop an interdisciplinary outlook. Admission Students may apply for a terminal M.A. degree. Students intending to pursue a Ph.D. as their final degree objective should apply directly to the Ph.D. program. Students with a B.A. should follow the requirements for the M.A. for the first six quarters.

Students are admitted into the graduate pro- gram in the fall quarter only. Though applicants must provide GRE General Test scores, scores for the music subject area are not required. All prospective students must submit an example of their writing.

Composers must also submit musical scores, recordings, or both and include a statement on technical experience. It is required that students entering the graduate program in digital compo- sition have 1) basic computer word-processing and spreadsheet skills, 2) demonstrated profi- ciency with a computer music notation program,

• 3) demonstrated proficiency with a sequencer

and audio editor, and 4) at least one of the fol- lowing: programming fluency in a computer lan- guage, fluency in a digital audio signal process- ing prototyping language, hardware experience, analog studio experience, nonlinear video editing experience, music production/studio recording experience, a scientific computing skill, or a multimedia design skill. Composers must also submit recorded evidence of performance ability. This may be either a recording of one or more performances on a preferred instrument or an aspect of the composition portfolio stated above in which the student has a significant perfor- mance role in either an acoustic music or digital capacity. Digital composition students may optionally include an additional non-academic writing sample which may be fiction, technical, or business writing.

Musicology and composition students must have an M.A. or undergraduate degree in music, including piano proficiency and musicianship (ear training). Digital composition students must have an M.A. in music or undergraduate degree in music.

Ethnomusicology students must have a back- ground in music or anthropology. Evidence of superior intellectual ability in another field com- bined with some demonstrable expertise in any musical tradition is also viewed favorably.

Entering graduate students in digital compo- sition and musicology must take an advisory examination. In musicology, admission to full graduate status is contingent upon the removal of any deficiencies in undergraduate preparation as shown by this advisory examination. In digital composition, deficiencies in undergraduate preparation must be completed by the time of the Comprehensive Examination.

The M.A. Degree The Department of Music offers the M.A. degree in Music under Plan I (Thesis).

Requirements In addition to the coursework indicated below, all students must meet the following requirements.

• 1. Comprehensive examination

All students must pass a written and oral comprehensive examination testing knowl- edge over a broad spectrum of their field of study. The ethnomusicology exam covers three broad areas: geocultural area studies, the history of ethnomusicology, and critical issues in ethnography. The digital com- position and musicology exams cover three broad areas: music theory, music history and critical issues in theory and/or musicology. Digital composition students must also take a practical examination in basic computing and digital music skills, a composition test, and an entrance audition (instrumental or vocal).

The comprehensive examination can be passed at the M.A. or at the Ph.D. level. Passing the exam at the Ph.D. level is a re- quirement for students intending to pursue a Ph.D.. Failure to pass the comprehen- sive examinations after two opportunities constitutes grounds for dismissal from the program.

• 2. Foreign Language Requirement

Students must demonstrate a reading knowledge of a foreign language, of use in scholarship within their discipline or chosen to support their research and creative inter- ests, with the approval of the department. The requirement can be satisfied either by examination or by enrolling in 4 quarters of a language course with a grade of “B” or better.

• 3. Additional track requirements

Musicology and ethnomusicology students must present a portfolio containing their CV, and representative seminar and conference papers. The portfolio offers the student a chance to organize their work in a manner that shows both their past performance and their future potential.

The portfolios will be evaluated by the ethnomusicology or musicology faculty, respectively, coordinated by the graduate advisor.

• 4. Coursework

Each area requires a minimum of 48 units of graduate (200 series) or upper-division undergraduate courses (100 series), these may include up to 8 units of MUS 299 (Thesis Preparation).Twenty four units must be graduate level. None may be MUS 291, MUS 301 or MUS 400.

Performance courses (MUS 160-181) do not count toward the degree, with the exception of 4 units in world music ensem- bles required of ethnomusicology students (see requirements below).
