MUS 321: History of Music II: Welcome

Assignment Details

Research Paper

Write a five page minimum paper on an instructor approved music history related topic.

Program Notes

Your goal is to increase your audience's understanding and enjoyment of the music you are performing. Program notes should be as well researched as any other piece of writing you produce. You should consult standard music reference works in order to write an interesting and clear summary of your piece. Include note-worthy items, such as a dedication or an excerpt of a review that was published soon after the piece’s premiere to show how the work was received at that time.
