What in the World is Music? is set within a thematic framework that highlights similarities across cultures and examines shared musical practices.
Unit 1: The Foundations of Music presents an inquiry-guided approach to understanding and engaging with music based on four fundamental questions: What is music? (Definitions), What is it made of? (Elements), Where does it come from? (Origins), and What is it for? (Functions).
Unit 2: Music and Identity examines how music operates in the shaping, negotiating, and projecting of human identity. The discussion is organized around four broad conceptual frames: the individual, the group, hybridity, and conflict.
Unit 3: Music and the Sacred considers how music is used in religious practices throughout the world: for chanting sacred texts and singing devotional verses, for inspiring religious experience such as ecstasy and trance, and for marking and shaping ritual space and time.
Unit 4: Music and Social Life explores the uses of music in storytelling, theater, and film; delves into the contributions of sound recording and digital technologies; and looks at the many ways music enhances nightlife, public ceremonies, and festivals.
