Your assignment is to create a listening guide for this piece and write a short accompanying text. You may choose the format of your listening guide. For instance, you may decide to create a charts, a graphic, or some other visual representation for your piece. Alternately, you may create a purely textual listening guide. You might also choose to create an audio or video listening guide.
What to do:
1. State which listening you have chosen.
2. Make a listening guide for your chosen piece. This listening guide should be aimed at an audience of high school or undergraduate students; presume that they have no music theory knowledge. Creative approaches to listening guides are encouraged. Do not simply provide a listing of time codes and musical features. Rather, guide your listener through the music with the goal of helping them make their own connections, and perhaps even extensions, about the sounds they are hearing. On which musical elements would you like your listeners to focus and why?
Remember, it is up to you to choose the format of your listening guide.
Charts, graphics, or other visual representations should be about 1/2 to 1 page in length (PDF)
Written listening guides should be about 3/4 to 1 page in length (Word doc, double-spaced). Audio or video listening guides should be about 1-2 minutes long (mp3, m4a, mp4)
3. Then, write a short accompanying text (250-350 words) for your listening guide. What musical elements does your listening guide foreground? Point the listener to two or three key musical moments and explain how you have represented these in your listening guide.
