Back Next Review the Gallery Music Gallery 2 Theme: Introduction to the Humanities (week 2) / Page 2.4.6 Music Gallery Objective: Review the music options available for your exploration document.

As with the literary works, just reading a song’s title and the name of the artist usually does very little to convey anything about the nature of the song. But it’s possible to “scan” or “skim” music in a way that is similar to skimming text. As you search for musical works to include in your exploration document, click the Play icon for each piece in this gallery. If it starts off slowly to you, or begins to feel repetitious, click further ahead in the recording to see how it develops. Check the total time of the piece to get a sense of how much of it you are sampling. This process should help you get a sense of each piece and decide which one you’d like to study further.
