Music 101 class final project

Provide a background on the composer/artist and political/social context for your piece. When was the piece written? Was there a certain reason it was written – a reaction to a political or personal event? Was it controversial in any way? If this doesn’t apply to your piece, that’s OK; sometimes a piece is written just “because.”

Flesh out the analysis in your grid. If something needs more explanation than you could put in the grid, provide it here (for example, fleshing out of examples of word painting, or saying you weren’t sure if a section was B or A’, but you chose A’ because…). Do NOT just repeat the grid in prose. What did you notice? If you weren’t sure of something, that’s OK! Write that here. Cite the minutes and seconds as above (e.g. 2:54).

As a concluding paragraph or two, write your ideas and insights into doing the project – what did you discover? How did you choose your work? What are your afterthoughts about the assignment? How many times did you have to listen to your piece? Which was the hardest element to hear and why? Why did you like or dislike the project?
