For your writing assignment in this module, address the following three topics: Compare the role of music in ancient Greece to that in the early Middle Ages. Include mention of at least two musical examples from each period from the required listening, describing how each represents the role you've described. Describe the differences between organum and motet . Include mention of at least two examples of each form, describing how each represents its form. Summarize the characteristics of the three types of organum described in your textbook. For each, find at least one example from your listening. Describe each example to clarify the type of organum it represents, using appropriate terminology. Your writing assignment will produce an essay of 100-250 words for each of the three topics, using good grammatical and organizational practice. Remember to cite at least the number of the pieces from your required listening as instructed in each topic. You can also expand your research beyond the required readings and listening assignments, but be sure to cite sources where appropriate (including passages from your textbook or other readings), and include a bibliography if needed. This writing assignment will help you focus on appropriate analytical procedures when listening to and reading the score to a particular piece of music. To do so, make sure you observe and are able to describe features of the piece in the following categories: Pitch: identification of key and scale/mode type (if applicable); examination of melodic contour (smooth, jagged, direction of line); relevance to any text setting, harmonies, and cadences; state of notational practice. Rhythm: identification of tempo and meter type (or lack thereof), examination of rhythmic interest, changes in tempo, and importance of rhythm to the overall fabric. Loudness: conclusions about the importance of loudness in the historical style and, if so, actual structural contributions of loudness to the form and fabric of the piece. Texture: identification and examination of the texture of the piece and any changes during the course of the piece; appropriate use of the terms monophonic, homophonic, and polyphonic should be included in the analysis of texture. Color: specific examination of the instruments and/or voices performing the piece, why they may have been chosen by the composer, and any special considerations required for their use, for example, technical performing restrictions, range, articulation abilities, role in ensembles. Form: examination of the specific musical form structuring the piece (remembering that in the early development of Western music, it was often the text that structured the music). Function: examination of any functional implications intended for the piece
