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. Freshmen and sophomore regis- ter for MUEN 174, juniors and seniors register for MUEN 374; graduate students register for MUEN 570. May be repeated for credit. |

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. |

Comments: Duplicates companion submission C02162 except for the change in numbering noted in this proposal. In this second submission, MUEN 174, 274, 574 are being discontinued and replaced with MUEN 163, 263, 563. If so, the numbering in the new course description should also reference the new numbering system; currently, it references the x74 system. --SS |
