Description
For the paper, please create a chart (outline, spreadsheet - however you want to do this) that lays out the different musical periods we studied (Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and ONE sub-genre of the 20th Century of your choosing - impressionism, expressionism, rock, etc.) and explain or diagram how each of the five elements of music (melody, rhythm, harmony, texture, and form) are conveyed in each period. Also include a "miscellaneous" category for typical characteristic of the period that might not clearly fit into one of the five elements. FInally, list the rough dates of each period, and the major composers.You may do this in the way that seems most logical to you. It is not necessary to use full sentences, just descriptions or bullet points that are important. I will provide access to my account later for more information.
