Listening log book No.1

Please use your resources link to complete this assignment: https://digital.wwnorton.com/enjmusic13

As you are reading through the book and come across your “Listening Guides” choose a piece of music that strikes you and write a listening log on it.

Your listening log should consist of 2 paragraphs about your selection. Here are some ideas you will want to discuss:

• musical era (time period/when composed)
• composer name
• tempo (speed)
• texture (voicing/instrumentation/ensemble)
• any influences you hear from previous music you learned about/listened to
• personal opinion of the piece. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Does it remind you of a piece of music you like to listen to? Have you heard it somewhere? A commercial? Sampled in a song?

Hint-Hint!
You may want to use the “what to listen for” section for each piece in the book. This is why you should do this as you go along. 🙂

ATTENTION: You may NOT pick the following pieces as they will be assigned later:

1. Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique
2. Williams: Imperial March
3. Video Game Music: Uematsu, “Aerith’s Theme”
