New Course Description: Ensemble dedicated to the performance of Brazilian music. Concerts may focus on a particular artist, such as Pixinguinha, Cartola, Jobim, or Ivan Lins; a single musical genre, such as choro, samba, bossa nova, or MPB; or a historical period.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): The group has grown too large to be properly considered a "combo." The new name more properly reflects its identity. The course description is more specific. Music Ensemble (MUEN) numbers 170-179 are reserved for combos. MUEN 160-169 is a more appropriate decade for this larger ensemble. Please note: This is a duplicate request. The earlier one does not include the number change, and should be dismissed in favor of this one. |

Students/Program affected: BA/BS in Music. BM/MM in Contemporary Music. Any student who might read the course description. |
