Part A.

Choose any two pieces from the folder marked “1F10 Final Exam 2020 Listening Examples”

found in the “Final Exam 2020” folder on Sakai. You will need to discuss each of these pieces in

Here are some possible points of discussion for your paper:

1. Is there anything in particular that stands out (e.g., rhythm, harmony, texture etc.)?

2. Is the melody generally conjunct or disjunct? Does it cover a wide range or narrow?

3. Are there any interesting rhythmic patterns, or changes in texture? 4. Does the timbre of the instruments suit the style of music? Page 2 of 2

5. Does this music create vivid images or emotions in your mind. Describe these images

or emotions. What sounds (i.e., materials) do you hear in the music that evokes these

images or emotions?

one piece from the folder (different from the pieces in Part A) that you would use as a sound

or depicts the action on screen. (one paragraph).
