  • After choosing and listening to one of the selections, conduct research
    on one of the composers before writing your critical analysis outline. A
    minimum of two sources are required for this assignment. Because musical
    terminology can be difficult for those who have not had substantial training,
    use as a guide the modified critical analysis outline below rather than the one
    at the conclusion of Chapter 5. You may want to refer to Chapter 5 and the
    accompanying PowerPoint for any terms or concepts necessary in the analysis. Be sure to include all of the following
    points    :

    ·
    Classical form


    ·
    Composer or vocalist biography (brief)


    ·
    Background of the selection


    ·
    Dynamics


    ·
    Message or intended effect


    ·
    Use of instruments or voices


    ·
    Your personal response


    Be sure to include a
    convincing, inclusive conclusion at the end of your critical analysis     and a bibliography of at least two sources
    that you used to prepare your analysis, one of which may be the class text. Do
    not use and cite Wikipedia

    Write
    a 750 word critical analysis. Follow the APA     style. Please use citations and References atleast
