Experimenting with Music Performer Stimulus Piece Excerpt Selection.

-

 1. Titles, composers, and arrangers (if any) of the 3 piece excerpts you select.

Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24, Paul O'Neill

Carpe Diem, Richard Meyer

Festival of Lights, Bud Caputo

2. The measure numbers you will practice and record for each excerpt. Each excerpt should be approximately 1 to 1:30 minutes in length. 

measure 1-43

measure 27-53

measure 1-27

3. Links to recordings of your 3 chosen piece excerpts.

4. What performance technique you will focus on for each or your excerpts and the importance of the performance techniques to the context of the music.

For Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 I will focus on vibrato to emphasize the emotion 

For carpe diem I will focus on the rhythm because it has a tricky rhythm 

For Festival of Lights I will focus on my legato for the sacred feel to the holiday song.
