Planning ahead…

The BSU Festival of New Music will be Friday and Saturday, 3/21 and 3/22, with a guest composer talk by Thomas Wells on Thursday, 3/20.

All students in my 212 sections are required to attend at least two concerts. You will need to find me just before the beginning of the concerts you attend so that I can sign your program, and then again at the end of the concert so that I can sign a second time.

For extra credit, you can write about two pieces on each of the concerts you attend (four pieces total), highlighting musical characteristics that we have discussed in class.

The composer talk is 3/20, 4 pm in the Music Technology Studios.

Concerts are 3/21 at 8 pm; 3/22 at 11 am, 3 pm, 5:30 pm, and 8 pm. All concerts are in Sursa Hall.

The complete schedule is online, including a list of works and composers.

For the solo violin line, indicate the ordered intervals below the staff, and the un-ordered interval classes above the staff.

Remember that ordered intervals indicate direction with a + or – (the + is assumed if nothing is indicated), and count the total number of half steps between notes. Un-ordered interval classes do not indicate direction, and will always be 6 or less.
