Assignment: Create and share the address of your class blog with me via email. You should send me an address that looks like myblogname.blogspot.com. I will then link your blog to the class blog.
Identifying Your 'Musical Truths'
In kicking off the spirit of developing your own personal construct of music theory, create a blog post that references the song you chose as "truthfully perfect to you" in providing the following information and critically answering the following questions:
Title
Composer
Performer
Year Composed
Year Performed
A link to the song
A narrative explanation about why you think you like the song as much as you do. Be sure to consider musical and non-musical factors based on the discussion we had in class today. The line between those two things can often become blurred. Also consider the context that surrounds the song (both in terms of your experience with it as well as the context in which you prefer to listen to it). Additionally, list as many 'facts' about the song as you hear them: instrumentation, musical characteristics, etc. The terminology you use is not important at this point, but your writing should reflect deep and critical listening on your part.
