3) The paper should contain three main components; 1) biographical (about 2 pages in length) 2) a list of genres and characteristics of music from the period in which they lived (1 to 1.5 pages) and 3) musical analysis and descriptions of a piece or two by your composer (1 to 1.5 pages). For the biographical component, be sure to answer the questions we discussed in class. For the Musical Characteristics of your paper, please list and describe the genres which he/ she uses and the general characteristics of his/her music. A third section should be a musical analysis with your own observations about the music. Please DO NOT write this in the first person. Be sure to listen to examples of the composer’s music so that you can include some of your own observations. (It will be obvious to me if you only get your information from a book, without doing your own listening). Though you may not know much musical jargon when making your own listening observations.
