Prompts

  1. Detail one genre of music we have studied in the first four weeks. Your answer should address the purpose, development, style, and general characteristics of the music. Hint: Baroque is an era, not a genre. Look up the term genre in the textbook before writing this essay.
  2. Music can serve different purposes. Detail how music from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods has served a specific purpose, i.e. sacred music from the three periods or dance music from the three periods. Similarities and differences between the music from each era should be explained.
  3. Form serves as an organizing agent for composers. Pick a time period and form we have studied in the first four weeks and explain how we expect the music from that category to behave.
