Hey guys!
Congratulations: by the time you read this you've probably made it to fall break. Enjoy the time off!
Update: I'm finalizing the details of our trip to l'opera. We'll be seeing La Boheme as performed by the Atlanta Opera at the Cobb Energy Center on Oct. 7. You should be aware that it's only a 55-minute version, not the full opera. We'll be spending approximately 2 class periods prior to studying the opera as well as Puccini's compositional style and role in music history. If you have a chance over the break, check out some of the music and begin familiarizing yourself with the plot.
The Ch. 3/Autumn Leaves quiz until Monday, September 27. Make sure you're ready for it. There is a good review on pp. 54-55 in your textbook. The quiz will be structured as follows:
Written portion - 80% (ID/writing chords, realizing figured bass, 1 or 2 short answers re: history of figured bass)
Playing Autumn Leaves (1st 8 bars)- 20%
We'll finish watching La Boheme (Australian Opera/Baz Luhrmann) on Monday.
Homework over the break is to prepare for your quiz Monday and check out La Boheme.
Enjoy!
Ms. P
