Anyone who missed a concert for an excused reason has the opportunity to make it up and not lose those points on their average.
Write an essay comparing and contrasting two pieces from the missed concert.
Content:
Analyze, compare and contrast:
Composers
Genres
Time period
Nationalities
Use of accompaniment (or lack thereof)
Purpose of songs
Arrangers (if any)
Articulations used (legato, staccato, marcato)
Languages
Form
Keys
Meter
Etc…..
Suggestion: start with a chart, listing the characteristics of each piece comparatively.
Ex: Piece #1 Piece #2
Composer
Genre
Etc…
Format:
The paper should be approximately 2 full pages long, typed, double spaced, with side margins at 1.25” and top and bottom margins at 1.00”. Font size should be no bigger than 12 point.
You should include introductory and concluding paragraphs.
Due Date:
The paper is due before the end of the marking period of the missed concert. If the concert was near the end of the marking period, you can set an appropriate due date with Mrs. Graham.
See me if you need help or alternative resources. Good luck!
