Composer Promotion

Assignment Content Continue building on your foundational knowledge of musical elements by exploring music of the baroque period. Complete the assignment to demonstrate your knowledge of this epoch in music history.   Review the Week 2 Listening Guides and select one of the following pairs of baroque composers/pieces: Pair 1: Bach, Brandenburg Concerto no. 5 in D Major, I (c. 1721) Corelli, Trio Sonata in A Minor, op. 3, no. 10, I OR Pair 2: Handel , “Ev’ry Valley Shall Be Exalted” from Messiah (1741) Purcell, “Dido’s Lament” from Dido and Aeneas (1689)   Imagine your selected composers have hired you to promote their work so they might be booked for more concerts or commissioned by a patron to create a new work. You all are struggling financially. Great promotion leading to work for your clients could mean survival for both of you. You have invited interested patrons and other parties to a promotional presentation on the composers and their work. Compare and contrast the composers and works by discussing the following for each: Identify the form: opera, oratorio, concerto, or trio sonata. Identify the instrumentation of each work. Describe how each work reflects the spirit of the baroque period.   Format your presentation a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes. The speaker notes should be very detailed and explain the general information on each slide.
