  3. Lists, Resources, and Guides • University Interscholastic League (UIL) Lists: http://www.utexas.edu/uil/pml/browse • How should we use lists? • Frank Battisti – “our profession is somewhat listed to death” • We have a professional responsibility to carefully evaluate literature • Teaching Music Through Performance in… • Band • Orchestra

Grid Analysis (see Curnow on Compass) Formal: Intro Phrasal: Measures 1-8; (8) 4 + 4 Color: brass fanfare with sustained WW (trills, then runs); Low band on rhythmic pseudo-arpeggios as transitions into next mini-phrase Dynamics: ff; forte-piano crescendo, some variation Style:Maestoso, accented Other: Important interactions or rehearsal considerations?; sextuplets; triplets contrast with 16ths; lip gliss in horns, chords in brass (special issues?); multiple tonguing; Timp. tuning

  15. Grid Analysis

  16. Ostling (1978) • Now that you have analyzed, what does this mean? • Form: structure, framework • Is there contrast and repetition? (“music is the same or it is different”) • Scoring: Instrumentation • Is it effective? Is there contrast? • Creativity • Is it interesting and unique? Cliché? • Style • Consistent style? Good quality throughout? Variety of colors?

  17. For Wednesday We will discuss the following analyses for Greek Folk Song Suite, Movement 1(email grid, bring a copy to discuss): Q-Factor Grid Analysis Ostling paragraph Audio example of GFSS, Mvt. 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bchFcd3KzY&feature=related
