Class 29, Thursday June 9th

That was super fun singing your Chorales today. We found a few little errors here and there but for the most part there was some really good music in there!

I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing about your Bach Chorale analysis projects on Tuesday.



Ongoing Extra Credit Assignment:
Choose a Bach Choral in the Chorale book in the DropBox folder and do one or all of the following:
  1. A written harmonic analysis = 40 points, 
  2. A written melodic analysis = 20 points. 
  3. Give a 5-minute verbal presentation = 50 points of your harmonic or melodic analysis = 50 points. Make 12 copies of your written analysis to share with the class, 23 if you are feeling generous and want everyone to have one to keep. Note: The verbal report must be more enlightening than “Then he used a IV chord . . .then he used a V chord”. I'm looking for insight as to what you found, what makes it interesting, how it follows the rules we have been working on, how it doesn't and so on.
We will look at these on the day of our Final. Tuesday, June 14th. 10:15am-12:15pm
