Watch two videos featuring the performance of a twentieth century music composition. Your choices must be from the twentieth or twenty-first century classical tradition, such as solo, orchestral or chamber music performances, not pop, rock, or jazz. Please note that this assignment is not a 20th or 21st century performance of music from the Classical era – students should watch videos of music that was composed in the twentieth or twenty-first century. The music chosen for this assignment needs to have been written in the twentieth or twenty-first century, so it is important to not choose music that was composed before the twentieth century. You can either choose two compositions written by the same composer or a composition from two different twentieth or twenty-first century composers. If you are not sure if your choices fit the requirements, be sure to ask in the Questions thread or by sending a personal message to your instructor. The following is a list of possible choices for composers for this assignment. You are not required to choose a composer from this list as long as your choices are composers from the twentieth or twenty-first century.

This aspect of the assignment should include information from academic sources about the musical style of your chosen composer/s that is cited.

Throughout Sales books, Dwellers in the land, it proposes the concept of bioregionalism, an alternative way of organizing society to create smaller scaled, more ecologically sound, and individually responsive communities with renewable economies and cultures. Sale argues that the scientific world view that we adopted has turned the world upside down-and brought it to its present crisis, and that bioregionalism is the solution to this problem (23). While bioregionalism could help protect the earth, the scale of the plan seems to large for countries like the United States and Australia to adopt. Does Sale describe how industrialized countries will change their economy and lifestyle toward a smaller-scaled region? How would bioregionalism prevent catastrophes such as wildfires?
