COMPREHENSIVE LISTENING REFLECTIONS

1st Periodic Test in Music: Part 1 of 2

 Rationale:
This is to extend the experience and immersion of students to the 5 20th Century Music genres:
Impressionism, Expressionism, Serialism, Avante Garde and Minimalism. The students choose 1
music selection per genre (with a total of 5 music selections) and write a critical and comprehensive
analysis and reflection about the chosen selection. Music selections are posted at the group page
in a compressed folder (.zip file) with 53 music selections to choose from.
FB Group name: YEAR IV Music Classes 2014-2015

 Elements of the Paper:

The format should follow a certain format and template (which is posted at the groups) and here
is the organization as follows:

Title Page -> Table of contents -> Reflection #1 -> Reflection #2 -> Reflection #3 -> Reflection #4 -> Reflection #5

Sample outputs and blank templates will be provided so the students will be guided. These will
posted at the group page.

 Reflection Proper (Reflection papers):

Each reflection should cater critical, analytical and personal interpretation of the listener
(students). Descriptive and narrative writings are encouraged to be done. There will be provided
guide questions which will help you make your reflections; also, citation of ‘time reference’ is
mostly important to provide evident and audible proof of listening experience. An example
would be:

….upon listening to Messiaen’s Turangalila Symphonie, you can hear the use
of an early digital keyboard called the Ondet Martenot. At 7:54, you can hear a
glissando of the instrument playing over the lavish harmony produced by the other
instruments thus making the composition very exotic and unique in the…….

The sample above is a citation of ‘time reference.’ Note: If it happens that if you cite a ‘time
reference’ and the description DOES NOT MATCH your reflection description, the WHOLE
PART 1 OF YOUR PERIODIC TEST WILL BE INVALID OR 0 IN SCORE.

 Other formats:
Typewritten
Font size 12
Times New Roman
Single-spaced
Justified; 1 space in between paragraphs

match their storyline.
