Use your newly developed musical vocabulary. Don’t say, for example, “The instruments moved the melody around.” Rather, say specifically, “The violins convincingly effected amodulationof thethemethrough differentkeysfrom0:45-1:24.” (Which keys doesn’t matter; you’d have to have perfect pitch to know that, and only 1 person in 10,000 has perfect pitch.)Use correct vocabulary.Please don’t call an overture or a set of instrumental variations a “song.” This will drive your instructor berserk. It is a piece, composition, work, symphonic movement, and so on. Unless there is a text and your piece is sung, it is not a song.800 word count minimum required for credit.
