Historical periods of music.

 

 

 

 

Recognize various elements, styles, composers, and major historical periods of music.
Identify and discuss genres and uses of music.
Demonstrate knowledge of the historical and cultural context of musical styles and periods.
Analyze and make critical judgments of music listening experiences utilizing appropriate terms and concepts.
Tasks:

Choose a new specific topic or a musical piece from the class. You might also choose to use one of your unit writing assignments and turn it into a power point presentation. If you choose your own topic, make sure the topic is worthy for this type of college project. The project must be presented academically–not just a selection of a contemporary pop artist or song with materials from the “Fan Website” or album cover. If you have questions about your topic being worthy, contact your instructor for topic approval.
Your slides should incorporate four active audio and video links for listening and viewing related information. Your 7-10 slides might look like the following:
The name of your presentation, your name, and date.
A summary of the piece’s composers/performers/producers.
A summary of its historical and musical context (what was happening in the world and in music around the time of its composition/production).
A summary of its most important performing forces and musical characteristics.
A listening guide of the composition.
