Second Year Students: Critical Analysis #3 - Baroque Era

Some of the most critical evolutions in the history of music occurred in this era - the evolution of the orchestra, opera, and most modern musical forms!

The Task:
Listening: Pick 5 (five) important pieces of music from the Baroque Era. You may need to do some research to figure out which were the most important pieces.

Writing: For each piece, write a four-paragraph analysis documenting the following:
1. Who wrote the piece, when, and why it was important to the Baroque Era.
2. Analysis of the piece according to the Elements of Music.
3. Your personal reflections on the piece (like a Listening Journal).
4. How the piece shows the evolution of music across the Baroque Era.

Final Product: 5 entries on 5 different pieces, 4 paragraphs each
Due: Friday, May 8
