These terms will help you listen better:
~ Diminishing - getting smaller; lessening; tapering off
~ Distinction - a recognizable characteristic; a positive attribute that stands out
~ Rubato - expressive slowing or quickening of the tempo

1.) How would you describe the mood of this piece?
2.) Is the beat always perfectly steady?
3.) How does rubato affect the performance?

You have been assigned a link to a piece of music by Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven to review. I will email it to you. (“The inclusion of links to other websites does not imply any endorsements of the material, postings, advertisements or comments on those websites. St. Gregory the Great Parish reserves the right to remove objectionable content if and when we become aware of it.”)

Listen carefully to it more than once so you can become familiar with it. Please review the music like you are a music critic. Your review must contain musical facts about the piece:

Instrumentation - what instruments do you hear? Some pieces have a full orchestra, some only one instrument

Dynamics - How loud or soft is the music? Does it change? If so, how?

Tempo - How fast or slow is the music? Does it change? If so, how? (Remember: louder may feel faster and softer may feel slower. Tap your foot, does it tap the same throughout or do you have to tap faster or slower to stay with the music?)

Mood/Feeling - How does the music make you feel? What emotions do you think the composer is trying to convey?

Picture it - What does the music “look” like to you? What images come to mind. (You can use a real image if you’d like)

Your review must contain an opinion about the piece of music. Did you like it or not? You do not have to like it but you must tell me why you didn’t like it using facts about it.

Your review must contain a brief biography about the composer. Also, tell me what intrigues you most about him.

You can submit this in any format you prefer. You may make a document or video or poster (take a picture of it and upload it to me) or send me everything in an email if that's easier. Have fun with this, get to know your composer a little bit and enjoy the music! :-)

IF ANY OF THE LINKS ARE NOT CORRECT OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE EMAIL ME! :-)
