Ab ou t t h e E n s embles
The Emory Samba Band performs traditional dance music from the country
of Brazil typically heard in the festival of Carnival. The group focuses on two
styles: Samba-Batucada from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Samba-Reggae from
Bahia, Brazil. Samba-Batucada is characterized by a faster tempo and utilizes a
wider range of instrumentation while Samba-Reggae features a slower tempo
and has a more syncopated bass drum melody.
The Emory Percussion Ensemble is an opportunity for students to further
study and express themselves through the art of classical percussion. The
group performs traditional and contemporary percussion literature by modern
composers using instruments including marimbas, vibraphones, timpani, tom
toms, and others.
The Emory Gamelan Ensemble presents selections of traditional Javanese
gamelan—a percussive musical ensemble from the country of Indonesia.
Gamelan has for centuries served as a source of community building in Javanese
culture. Traditionally performed in village and court gatherings for celebrations,
to accompany classical dance and traditional wayang kulit (shadow puppetry)
performances, the art form brings together performers and audience members
from across social and age groups.
The Korean Percussion Ensemble performs samulnori, a form of traditional
Korean farmer’s music. The music is played with four different instruments:
KKwanggari (small gong), Jing (large gong), JJang Gu (hourglass-shaped drum)
and Buk (barrel drum). These four instruments represent the sounds of nature
and depict the life and culture of Korean people. The music is quite excessive
and dynamic.
Mu s ic at E mo ry
The Department of Music at Emory University provides an exciting and innovative
environment for developing knowledge and skills as a performer, composer,
and scholar. Led by a faculty of more than sixty nationally and internationally
recognized artists and researchers, our undergraduate and graduate students
experience a rich diversity of performance and academic opportunities.
Undergraduate students in our department earn a BA in music with a specialization
in performance, composition, or research, many of whom simultaneously earn
a second degree in another department. True to the spirit of Emory, a liberal
arts college in the heart of a research university, our faculty and ensembles also
welcome the participation of non-major students from across the Emory campus.
Become a part of Music at Emory by giving to the Friends of Music. Your
