Identify Musical Ideas
As we have learned, all music compositions are made up of musical ideas. Your task in this assignment is to identify the two music ideas that make up the piece you will hear and see performed in the video.
First, listen to the entire work from beginning to end—it only lasts one minute and a half. There is no substitute for repeated, attentive listening to become fully familiar with a piece of music.
Once you have listened to the full piece, listen to the two ideas that the composer used to build it. Before the ideas come into play, however, there is a very short two-second introduction. This is not a full musical idea yet. Here are the two ideas that the composer uses throughout the piece:
Idea A
Idea B
Listen to both ideas until you are thoroughly familiar with them. That will help you identify them as the piece progresses.
Heads up: There is a short section at end of the piece where neither Idea A or B happens—if needed, compare this section with Idea A and Idea B to hear the difference. While entering your answer for this section at the end of the piece, please address the following: How would you characterize this section? What do you think is its function?
