MUSIC CLASS ASSIGNEMENT

A CRITICAL REVIEW of the assigned reading. (minimum 200 words, not including quotes word maximum submission length.) 

First, briefly summarize the topic and findings of the article as the author might state them.

Second, critique the work with positive and/or negative assessments of various elements from the selection. 

The review must include at least two direct quotes from the reading.  Please keep the quote lengths to a maximum of 2 sentences. 

****************************************************************************************

Please consider one or two elements from the class videos or readings and select one song or musical selection that you believe represents an interesting aspect of, or commentary on, the element(s) you have chosen.  These could be related to music and identity, authenticity, original and copy, technology, copyright, appropriation, repurposing, interpretation, music as art, music in everyday life, or any other element that you’ve studied in this class this semester.  

Be sure to focus on the relationship of the work to the larger historical or cultural circumstances – do not focus on the history of the artist.  

Please list both the title of the piece and the artists.  

Write a minimum of 400 words
