Research and Reflect paper Due Sunday October 24
Choose one specific area of music from “Antiquity” through the Middle Ages that has caught your interest and discuss it in 4-6 pages (excluding pictures, sheet music), 12-point font, double-spaced, 1” margins, from at least 5 sources.
A few ideas:
Discuss a technique, thought, idea from the past and compare how it’s different or similar today
Look at how a specific musical experience in the past might have reflected the society at large at that time
Other possibilities:
Discuss:
—musical notation or transmission
—music and ritual
—music and emotions
—music and other art form
—a compositional technique
—a theoretical principle
—a musical philosophy or idea
The topic possibilities are limitless. Be creative and make it your own.
