Your first listening journal assignment is to write a full 3-page essay that provides an analysis of one musical work relevant to Gateways 1 to 21 (found in Parts I and II of our course textbook) and studied in our class meetings. Your analysis should utilize the established methodology and parameters designated in our textbook and implemented in our class discussions. I have provided you with a list of suggested topics and works for consideration, or you may select a work on based on your own interests and investigations. If you would prefer to write your paper on a work outside of the suggested works, please discuss your plan with your instructor. Please do not write your paper on a gateway selection found in your textbook as it has already been analyzed.
You have considerable flexibility regarding how you approach your topic, but please develop an organized analysis that interrogates the most prominent elements of music and the most important of the five questions that provide the organizational foundation of our discussions: What is it? How does it work? What does it mean? What is its history? Where do we go from here? Your paper should be comprised of three to five pages of written text, and it should be written in standard academic English format (double spaced/ 11 font). Please include appropriate citations and a bibliography if you choose to consult source materials (all main style sheets are acceptable), and keep in mind that all papers are electronically reviewed for plagiarism. Most importantly, make sure that you fulfill the basic parameters of this assignment in your essay.
Here is the list of suggested topics or works to study based on our recent investigations of Gateways from Parts I and II in your course textbook (Music History to 1500 CE/ portions of Music From 1500 to 1900). This list also includes topics that we have not studied, but are perhaps areas of interest:
