Final Exam Essay Question
This question is your last chance to show me what you have mastered this semester in Music 101.This essay will show me the depth of your thinking about how a piece of music works. It is NOT A RESEARCH PAPER. Instead, it requires that you reflect on all the things you’ve read and listened to this semester, synthesizing them into a cogent answer to this prompt. Your essay should demonstrate how well you can use the musical vocabulary and concepts you’ve learned.
This is NOT A RESEARCH PAER.  You do not need any material beyond what is in the course modules, your brain, and your imagination, be creative. Your essay should draw on relevant insights from the readings and other materials, referencing examples from modules 5-10, and using the appropriate vocabulary from modules 1-4 to be as detailed and specific as you can.
Prompt: The year is 2100. The CCNY Alumni Association has commissioned you to compose an orchestral work for the New York Philharmonic, commemorating the Israel-Hamas war. Describe your composition.

Write an essay of at least 750 words discussing at least three representative tracks by the artist (around 250 words per track).
Your essay should focus on your impressions of the music, and include a discussion of any musical characteristics you hear in the tracks that are typical of the historical eras or styles discussed in class. Include time markings. You may also want to include elements of the music or lyrics you connect with personally.
Include a summation that describes what you feel the artist has accomplished either creatively, personally, and/or professionally through the three tracks.
Include footnotes and references as applicable.

A formal writing assignment is required, which for our course will be a concert report of 4-6 pages in length. The concert may be of any genre and may be a recorded event. Students are encouraged to seek out genres with which they are less familiar.  The focal-point of the event must be listening to the music, i.e. not background entertainment.
The concert report could include the following elements:
Genre; what style was heard?
Instrumentation; which instruments were used?
Did different instruments play simultaneously or separately?
Describe tempo, dynamics, and overall mood
Personal reactions to the music (positive or negative, and why)

The report must be typed in a standard font (such as Times New Roman), font size 12 or smaller, with all margins one inch or smaller.  It must be double-spaced, and 4-6 pages in length (not including title page and bibliography, if present).
