Present opening and closing paragraphs that cover an overview of the entire performance, noting which musicians/ensemble is performing and any other contextual information that would aid the reader in setting the stage for the music description.
Express personal aesthetic experience.
Include the source for recording used; a weblink to the recording will suffice.
Also address melody, harmony, form, texture, dynamics, tempo, and instrumentation to describe what is heard; show an understanding that elements change as a piece progresses. Students have a choice to describe two selections or one selection in greater detail. (If describing two selections, students only need to describe each bolded element above once. For example, describe the first four elements for one selection and the last three elements for the other selection.) use terms accurately and demonstrate comprehension of music concepts and terminology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3aF75Zu40g
