To complete this assignment, you must choose a listening selection from Section 1: Basic Musical Concepts (any of the classes from “Unity and Variety” up to and including “Folk Music, Art Music, and All That Jazz”) and write a two-paragraph summary. Your summary must include the following to receive full credit: •The name and composer of the selection.. •The location of the selection. (e.g. Introductory Concepts: The Structure of Music). •A short analysis of the piece from the point of view of a Referential Listener. (Read the description of the Referential Listener, and use the attributes listed to analyze the selection.). •Finally, indicate what musical “concept” is illustrated by the selection (e.g. musical idea, ensemble, solo performer, variation, etc.), and state intelligently whether you think the selection was effective in communicating this concept.. Below is a sample of a well-written Written Assignment 1: Listening, that discusses a piece of music from the Referential Listener’s point of view: Written Assignment 1: Listening The Types of Listeners Lesson defines the “referential listener” as someone who is reminded of past events, images, feelings, or that catch the listener up in those memories. The piece of music I chose is Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, op. 11 in the Historical Periods section, Lesson 36, Contemporary I. When I hear this music I am reminded of two things, my grandfather’s funeral when we shoveled dirt on top of his grave. This piece of music is profoundly sad with falling figures that capture the goodbye for eternity forever that I have when thinking of this memory. I am also reminded of a Vietnam War movie that was made in the early 1980s that may have used this music as a backdrop to the devastation that the soldiers experienced, The Deerhunter. In this piece, the concept is that 20th c. music often featured certain instrument families over others. In Adagio for Strings, the string family provides the dominant timbre.
