Description

A winner of the John S. Knight Assignment Sequence Prize, this sequence originates from Music 111, Sound, Sense, and Ideas: Famous First Performances. The sequence consists of four units, each of which focuses on a separate composer (Berlioz, Beethoven, Dvorak, and Stravinsky). A fifth unit prepares students to write a review of a concert they attend. Preparatory writing includes personal writing as well as study questions; essay assignments draw on varying genre and rhetorical situations. The sequence aims to turn students into active listeners who can employ musicological terminology while considering the social environments that shaped composers and their audiences. To this end, writing assignments require participation in the "narrative" mode of discourse that musicologists use to explain historical events and works. 12 page pdf
