In your best scholarly prose, you will write about a composer from the middle ages, Leonin.
You should do some research in several sources and write about the composer’s life and compositional output.
Your paper should answer (but not be limited to) the following questions. Points will be deducted if the answers to these questions do not appear in your paper. Sources should be clearly cited to show (specifically) where you did your research and got your information. Only one source can be an online based source such as Wikipedia. If you choose to use an online source such as Wikipedia, it should not be your primary source of research. Published journals and articles that are available in online databases are not considered to be online resources.
a. What is this composer’s general biographical information? (While this is important and can sometimes be interesting, this answer should not be the majority of your paper. The composer’s biography should only be one paragraph in length.)
b. What was/is the composer’s compositional style?
c. What was/ is the composer’s compositional output? You do not need to list all of their pieces, just provide general information. For example, if one were writing about Giacomo Puccini, they would say that he primarily composed in the genre of opera and some art songs.
d. Why is this composer’s music interesting to you? Be specific.
e. What piece/pieces caused you to choose to write about this composer? And why? It will be necessary to listen to several of the composer’s pieces to answer this question.
