Classical Period Composers

LISTENING TASK CLICK HERE

Our first topic is "Music of the Classical Period"...the first thing you're going to need to find out is, when was the Classical Period? As we said in class, it was a specific period of time and not just a whole style of music. Each of you will be required to complete research into some composers of the Classical Period. Those composers you can choose from are Your research is going to be completely focused on the music of those composers and you will present your work in the form of a wiki using the www.wikispaces.com website. Each of you will build a page and linked from the page titled "Composers of the Classical Period". You will need to add your composer to the page and then create a page for your work. It doesn't matter if more than one person chooses a composer and we have multiple entries for that composer but this is an individual task and not to be completed in groups. Enter your composers name on that page and put your first name next to it...."Mozart- by Gary" as an example. This wiki is to be completely focused on the music of the composer and of the period. In your research you will need to listen to music by the composer and embed into your page music by your composer (YouTube would be a great suggestion for this!) In your research you are going to need to include pages with information on the following If you don't remember your wikispaces login from last year, create a new one and ask to have membership. The wiki can be found at http://mcmusic.wikispaces.com/
