College Music Assignment

College Music Assignment

The Essay for this Module is not one long essay, but rather, series of 4 short, one-page ‘mini-essays.’ These

one-page essays are designed to demonstrate how you personally listen to four different musical selections.

You are asked to write verbal descriptions of the style and structure of four different musical works. Each

of these works is unique in origins and style; the selections are very different from one another. The

listening selections are from the accompanying course CDs:

#26 Dikrayati
#12 John Howatt
#25 Mozart, Piano Sonata in A Major, No. 11 (K.331). (Use the Theme and first Variation only. Note that the

first Variation has sounds of Turkish March Music. The first Variation ends when a rumbling bass stops at a

cadence. This signals the close of your assigned music selection.)
#14 Beethoven, Symphony No. 5 in C Minor. (Use the beginning section only, this is the first 1 minute, up to

the development section. )
For each selection, write a one-page explanation of the selection’s rhythmic and melodic features. You may

want to use 3 paragraphs: a brief introduction, a paragraph on rhythm, a paragraph on melody. Discuss these

elements chronologically, in the order in which they occur in the music, to show that you are hearing change

within the musical flow. Use all course-related materials text, audio, and web resources to help you discuss

the ways that rhythm and melody contribute to the overall effect of the selection.

Addendum to ESSAY #3: Musical Terms & Definitions

‘addendum,’ a list of these 5 terms with definitions to indicate you understand the meaning of the terms.

These terms should be related to your listening assignments for the MODULE.
