Pick a short piece of music that is similar to something we are studying in class (but that we AREN’T studying in class—check your syllabus). Listen to It once, n0.9 its most interesting features and decide what you think the piece is about (note — you don’t have to identify the composer’s intended meaning for the piece, just what it means to you). Listen to it again, noting its melody. Listen to it a third time, noting its rhythm. Listen to it additional times, noting aspects of its harmony, texture, and form and ways in which its music and any words work together to convey meaning. Write up a description of the music, opening with one sentence that presents your interpretation of the piece.
