What to prepare for
Listening Quiz 2: (Quiz will be start at 2:45 on Tues. April 22)
You must
bring a No. 2 pencil and your SECRET ID (Get this by looking at the "My
Grades" link on the MUS1700 WebCT/Blackboard site).
There will
be 12 musical examples on this quiz (ranging from the Baroque Era through the
Modern Era).
All 12 examples are
available through the MUS1700 (Musical Styles and
Structures) "Listening Quiz 2 Review" folder on the "Classical Music Online" website.
For each example, you will answer 4 multiple-choice questions:
- What is the
composer/title of this example?
- What is the style era
of this example? (Baroque, Classic, Romantic, 20th century)
- What is the genre
(compositional category) of this example?
- What is a term
related to this example?
For each example, I will
choose a section that will clearly represent the composer/piece/style/term, but
not necessarily the first phrase. Each example will be no more than 1 minute
long. You will have three to four
minutes per example to answer all four associated questions.
