OPTION A: Deep-Dive
For this option, choose one of the examples in the book to learn more about: Hamilton, The Magic Flute, Tale of the White Snake, or The Nutcracker. Do some deeper research into the composer and the premiere of the work using an internet browser search. Watching videos or documentaries are GREAT for learning more about the work. Include at least 2 links to outside articles or websites that you found. Wikipedia is not allowed for this assignment! In a 300 word document, discuss the staged work you chose, why you chose it, what you discovered, and the source of your information.
OPTION B: ANALYSIS
Select three elements discussed in the book (Rhythm, Form, Texture, articulation, Volume, Timbre, Rhythm, Pitch) and discuss in 300 words how you understand them in one of the examples from this chapter (Hamilton, The Magic Flute, Tale of the White Snake, Nutcracker) In order to get full points for this assignment, you must follow the word requirement and experiment thoughtfully about three elements in detail.
