Homework for Friday, 1 October 2010

*Listen to Quando m’en vo (Act II, track 21) 3 times through.

*Write the English translation in the provided score. Make sure each word is matched with the corresponding Italian word.

*Listen to the aria 3 more times while following the score.

How does Puccini use the music (not text) to convey Musetta’s character? Write a paragraph giving at least 3 examples. Don’t forget to examine the last 4 bars of p. 138 – the orchestra’s introduction always has something to say about the character! (It might be a good idea to write a verbal description of her character first so you have some direction.)
