Bio

Lila Ellen Gray is an ethnomusicologist, cultural anthropologist, and interdisciplinary scholar of music and sound. Her research interests include: affect; urban ethnography; sound studies; ethnographic theory, method and poetics; celebrity; vocality; media circulation and public culture; Portugal; the Lusophone world; and Europe’s South. Her book, Fado Resounding: Affective Politics and Urban Life (2013 Duke University Press), is a musical ethnography of fado, Portugal’s most celebrated musical genre, and was the recipient of the 2014 Woody Guthrie Award of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM-US). Her article "Fado's City" published in Anthropology and Humanism (2011), was awarded the Jaap Kunst Prize from the Society for Ethnomusicology for the most significant article in the discipline in that year. Her present work concerns musical celebrity, amateur musicianship and mass tourism, and the labors of sound, heritage, and the senses in the context of multiple forms of precarity across Europe’s South. Publications include articles in the journals Ethnomusicology, History and Anthropology, and Culture, Theory and Critique. Her book, Amália at the Olympia, on the internationalization of the 20th century Portuguese fado diva Amália Rodrigues, was published in 2023 by Bloomsbury Academic Press as part of their 33 1/3 Europe series. Professor Gray holds a PhD in cultural anthropology (2005) and a MA in music (2000) from Duke University and a BA in humanities from New College of Florida (1993). She has previously taught at Columbia University and at the University of Amsterdam. Organizations that have supported her work include: The Bogliasco Foundation; The Social Science Research Council; The Council for European Studies; The Luso-American Foundation for Development; and the Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis. Her courses are informed by longstanding commitments to interdisciplinary scholarship and emphasize the role of sound and music in shaping socio-cultural life.

MUAC 101 Early Musical Migrations
What did the past sound like? What kinds of music did people dance to, worship with, celebrate with, protest with? What musical instruments were used and how were they made? Who participated in music-making, composing, and listening and what did gender, race, or religion have to do with it? How did musical forms shapeshift as people migrated, traveled, conquered, colonized, or were forcibly displaced? How did new musical forms emerge in moments of encounter? These are just some of the questions that this interdisciplinary course will explore. Students will investigate select musical worlds from 900-1750 from the areas now known as Europe and the Americas. Students will acquire skills in critical listening. The ability to read music is not required for this course and non-musicians are welcome and encouraged.

While the emphasis in reading will be on standard notation, tableture and chord chart diagrams will also be explored.

MUPS 111 Strings Class
Permission of Instructor RequiredNo Additional Fee / May Not be AuditedThe violin, viola, cello and double bass are all instruments with rich, beautiful, distinctive sounds.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn to play one of these elegantly crafted wooden boxes, here is your chance! This class is open to all students; no prior musical knowledge or experience necessary. This course would be ideal for budding composers who may want to write for strings one day. Course content includes both group and solo playing, individual practice sessions, music notation, listening assignments, bow technique, basic musicianship and required concert attendance.

MUAC 353 Sem in Music and Sound Studies
Wars and political upheavals are among the most distressing, and noisy, events that humans experience. In “Sounds of War and Revolution,” we traverse Western battlefield soundscapes from the late-eighteenth through twenty-first centuries and explore their resonances in both commemorative works and revolutionaries’ agitational music. Students will read and listen widely and reflect, both through in-class discussions and in written assignments, on ways that music can sound such themes as empire, dissent, nationalism, propaganda, trauma, and healing. Prerequisite: MUAC 206, 209, 210, 211, 212, or 221, or permission of the instructor.

In addition students will present their senior work in a public lecture/recital known as the annual Music Majors Colloquium at the end of the fall semester.

MUPS 111 Guitar Class
Permission of Instructor RequiredStudents will need access to a guitar. Contact the instructor for more information. No Additional Fee / May Not be Audited Introduction to plectrum and finger style guitar technique in a group setting. Recommended for all students wanting to learn guitar at Dickinson with little or no prior experience and for those music majors or future music majors with no guitar experience. Course content includes both group and solo playing, individual practice sessions, music notation, listening assignments, fretboard theory, basic musicianship and required concert attendance. While the emphasis in reading will be on standard notation, tableture and chord chart diagrams will also be explored.

ANTH 205 Listening Across Cultures
Cross-listed with MUAC 209-01. Is music a "universal language"? How might we listen to, consume, and participate in music across a diverse cultural spectrum without engaging in "cultural tourism" or appropriation? Can we listen across cultures? Working with a wide range of approaches to these questions, this course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of ethnomusicology (the study of music and sound in relation to social life). Students will study sound recordings and ethnographic films, read widely, and examine material objects (like musical instruments) drawn from socio-politically and geographically diverse case studies. No previous musical training or note reading skills are necessary.

ANTH 205 Music and Place
Cross-listed with MUAC 355-01. Music often shapes deeply felt experiences of place and a sense of belonging or identity. At the same time, musical styles, genres, and sounds possess a facile ability for travel, displacement and transformation through sound recording and the movement of people between places. In this seminar, we consider "world" music as a stimulus for thinking about the tension between the sampling, marketing, the international sonic circulation of cultures. How are foreign and out of the way places or places imagined in relation to sound recordings? How are the sounds of the "local" transformed in their circuit of the global? To explore these questions and the ethics that they prompt, we work with varied case studies (from soundscapes of consumption in the United States, to musical histories and global representations of the Mbuti people from the Congo region of Africa, to second line jazz parades in New Orleans). In this interdisciplinary seminar, we draw on readings from music and performance studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. In addition to reading widely, we will consider sound recordings and films. Skills in note reading not necessary and majors from across the College welcome.
