Music

**Pick one of the composers that we discussed this semester and argue for their importance in the history of Western classical music. Identify and explain at least three specific ways that they helped to push forward musical development through their compositions and/or musical ideas. (Composer Jean- Baptiste Lully)

**Choose a composer from the Medieval, Renaissance, or Baroque periods that we did not cover in class and provide an argument for why they should have been included. Why do you think they were left out of the course as it was structured? How might they have challenged or enriched the major themes we discussed in the course? Furthermore, suggest how you might have approached this composer in the span of one class. Where in the sequence would they have fallen? What works could we have examined? What aspects of their music would you highlight? (Composer Jacob Arcadelt)

**Choose one specific piece from the Medieval, Renaissance, or Baroque periods that you have studied in your private lessons or ensembles and explore some of the challenges involved in performing early music. [If you havent studied any pieces from these time periods, please select a piece of music you might reasonably expect to study in the future]. Using specific examples from the piece youve chosen, talk about what decisions you would need to make and how you might prepare to perform the piece in light of what we learned this semester.
