Write a biography which explains the composer′s contributions to music (why is this person important?) as well as how this person fits into the chronology of music history (during what era did this person work, who influenced this person, and who was influenced by this person?). Describe the composer′s most important/influential/famous composition(s). Why is this music special? Your paper must be written in a 3rd-person, formal style. It should be at least 750 words plus a properly formatted ″works cited″ page, and is due by the last day of class. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source, and plagiarism will result in a failing grade.
