Listen to Beethoven’s 5th Symphony and in 250 words or less evaluate the musical elements used within. Consider the following when listening and responding:
– Changes in dynamics to indicate the beginning of a new movement or to add emphasis.
– The use of different textures within the melody.
– Consonance and dissonance, creating senses of repose and tension at different points in the score.
– Changes in tempo, which evoke different emotions. What does a slower tempo do? A faster tempo?
Your responses will be evaluated on your critical analysis of the score, as well as your incorporation of the musical terms. Be specific and include examples (with timestamps) from within the score to help illustrate your understanding.

Select one of the documentaries listed below. All of these are available to stream through the librarys website or are on reserve at Irwin Library. If you would like to watch a documentary that is not on this list, please check with me.

Write and carefully edit a response of approximately 23 pages (ca. 500750 words). Your response should be organized into coherent paragraphs. You may write in first person (I, me, my, etc.) when appropriate, but please maintain a formal, academic style of writing.
Your response should include the following:
One to two paragraphs in which you introduce the documentary (the title, when it was made, where it was made, who made it, etc.) and summarize its content. What is the documentary about? Who are some of the main figures? What kind(s) of music are introduced? What is the films agenda/argument/purpose? In this section, try to be succinct and objective.
Two to three paragraphs in which you articulate a response to the documentary. Be sure to explain and defend your response (i.e. it is not enough to say I loved it or I hated it without supporting your opinion). Please address both of the following:
Your broad impressions of the documentary. You may wish to consider some (probably not all!) of the following questions: What did you learn from the documentary? What did you think about the concept of the documentary as a whole? Did you respond strongly to it or not? What did you think about how the filmmakers portrayed the people/musics/cultures in the film? Would you recommend this documentary to a friend or family member? Why or why not?
Your specific impressions of a single aspect of the documentary. Identify a specific scene, interviewee, musical moment, etc. that caught your attention and discuss your thoughts on it. This could be something that you especially liked, something you found especially problematic, something that you found difficult to relate to, something that seemed very relatable, etc.
