Essay Questions

1. Choose one of the pieces described in chapter 11 and listen to it closely several times. How is the experience of listening to this music different from listening to American folk or popular music? What new challenges does it make on you as a listener?

2. The music we are studying this week existed centuries before the invention of recording. Imagine that you are an English traveler in Italy who has just heard a performance of Corelli's "Christmas Concerto" (tracks 20-22). Write a letter home to a friend that describes the piece.

3. How does the description of the social role of the Baroque composer as skilled employee or craftsman relate to the way you thought about classical music composers before taking this course? Does it cause you to relate to the music any differently?
