mus

Identify an historically significant action that was made by someone (an individual artist and/or group) in Twentieth-Century American Popular Music. Describe its genre and place it in the historical context.

Objectives:

The student is expected to listen and respond critically to music and to articulate an informed, personal reaction in a coherent and engaging manner. You must demonstrate an awareness of the subject matter. You must also include a discussion that informs the reader of the historical and social context in which the music originally fit and how it is relevant now

Please research about the ensemble, artist, music, etc. of what you are writing about. Include in your essay, sentences or a paragraph on what you have researched and list your sources in the essay. Please include a minimum of two sources. YOU CAN NOT USE WIKIPEDIA AS A REFERENCE The likely length of music should range from 3–11 minutes

Your discussion of the music is the most important part of this paper. If you plagiarize, copy or cheat in any way you will receive an F/0 as your grade on this assignment and your name will be submitted to the Dean of Students Office for the alleged violation of the Collin College Student Code of Conduct. See the syllabus for consequences regarding being found responsible for violating the Scholastic Dishonesty Policy as stated in the Collin College Student Code of Conduct

Assignment Mechanics:

Your ability to write about the music

Proof-read your work (spell-check)

Make sure each sentence and paragraph make sense

Your ability to communicate

Clarity and quality of thought

Your ideas should be well developed

Pay attention to the details so that your critique is based on good thought, strong argument and evidence

Assignment Organization:

Title should capture your primary impression of the music you are discussing

Post the audio/video of the artists and their performance as the URL link. Place it in the second line of the title

Ability to follow the guidelines set up for this paper including length, font, margins, etc.

Please avoid vague, space-filled comments such as “it was really nice,” or “the performers wore black and looked happy”

Format Rules:

Use

File Types:

doc, docx, and pdf

Use “Times New Roman” with a font size of 12.

Double spaced.

Place your name, MUSI 1310 (add your section number) and date in upper right corner.

Center the venue (URL), the performer, the composer, and the name of piece you’re discussing. Use BOLD. If at a classical concert more than one composition will be performed, pick one to analyze and discuss.

MUST be 750 to 1000 word count.

Citations–when you are writing for academic use you must cite other people’s work. If you use the exact words from someone else’s work, use the quotation marks, and also list that person/author in your footnote. You must cite 2 sources in your writing. You MUST use “footnotes” not parenthetical style citations. I would like you to use the “Chicago” style. Chicago style requires a superscript number and a footnote. Footnotes are easy to produce in Microsoft Word. Just position your cursor to the end of the quote, go to “References” and “Insert Footnote.” Then you’ll be able to insert the information. Footnotes should be “Times New Roman” font of 10. Search Collin College’s library for Kate Turabian: “A Manual for Writers” or “Cite Right” for exact citation format or go online to If online, choose the “N” format. The “N” means “Note or Footnote.”
