Presenting Music Project Plan.

-

 1. Pick 2 to 4 pieces of music that you are currently rehearsing or have worked on recently in your performance ensemble class. The pieces you select must fit into at least 2 of the Areas of Inquiry listed above. You must select pieces with a combined performance time of 12 minutes. Write down the titles, composers, arrangers (if any), and total performance length time for each piece that you select. Also, please indicate if your chosen ensemble pieces have already been recorded in front of a live audience, or will be recorded in March. All pieces selected must be recorded by the end of March, because all recording must be submitted to IB by April!  

Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24

Carpe Diem

2. Identify measures of music within each piece that you select that best represent your contribution to the ensemble on your instrument. You must record these sections solo to demonstrate your role within the ensemble. Your total solo recording time must be 2 minutes. You must record sections from each of the pieces that you selected in part 1 of this assignment. Write down the pieces and exact measure numbers that you will record for your excerpts demonstrating your role in your ensemble.

1-43

27-53

3. Identify which Areas of Inquiry are not represented in your ensemble recordings. Write a proposal of a type of musical creation that you can make for each Area of Inquiry that is not represented in your ensemble recordings. Your creation recording time must be 6 minutes in length. Here are some examples of works that you could create:

-a blues improvisation.

-a jazz standard improvisation.

-electronic dance music.

-a piece written to accompany a choreographed dance, film, or a musical production.

Areas of Inquiry 3 and 4 are not included, I can create a song inspired by the film Beauty and the Beast that incorporates electronic elements and instruments.

Include evidence from your stimulus piece embedded in your blog post. Focus on the main instrumental technique that you have identified for this excerpt that you hope to improve. You should focus o...

Experimenting with Music, Creation Rationale.

-
  A rationale justifies the choices of stimulus source material, including the choice of context and area of inquiry, and will help students to spotlight specific aspects of their experimentation leading to a more in-depth—rather than wide-ranging—engagement with the musical material in this report. For your creation rationale focus on Area of Inquiry 4: This area focuses on music created, performed and/or produced using electronic or digital technologies. Such technologies are an important aspect of contemporary musical experiences, often transforming some of the ways that we understand and engage with music. Examples: Electronic dance music, Elektronische Musik, Technology in popular music production. Students should also focus on music from a Global Context: This includes unfamiliar music from a variety of places, societies and cultures. This may include music that the student has not connected or engaged with previously. The music may be from a distant global region but may als...
