TEST ON FRIDAY, OCT. 20
No make-ups except for emergencies (see me ).
TEST REVIEW ON THURSDAY, OCT. 19
We'll be reviewing material that will be on the test. Until then, review your notes, and chapters 1-3, 7, 8, 61-65, 71, 72, 74, 75 (melody, rhythm, harmony, instruments--chordophones, aerophones, membranophones, idiophones--and instrument families--strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and 20th C. music: "Main Currents in Early-20th C. Music," "New Elements of Musical Style," Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Bartok, "New Directions," "Contemporary Composers Look to World Music," "Technology and Music," "Some Current Trends,").
Don't stress about the test. I won't ask you to recall dates and specific facts from memory. There will be multiple choice, matching, listening (I'll run you through that on thursday), and one (or two) very short essay questions about the articles we read on listening. If you've come to class and kept up on the reading, you'll be fine!
PRESENTATIONS
You are not required to meet with your group outside of class unless you want to. The only information you have to get from the other members is: what piece they're presenting, and who is sharing biographical information about the composer. These things can be accomplished via email and phone. These really are solo projects--I'll be evaluating each person separately, so you don't have to worry about delinquent members. If you do your portion of the work you'll get a stunning grade. Your grade will not depend on the others in your group.
