As a way to practice some of the listening skills that we have talked about in class, conduct a SHMRG analysis of the music that you selected for the Golden Record in the previous assignment. Please include a link to a recording of the music. Your analysis should include two parts:

1. Provide a SHMRG table, like the one below, that includes at least one detailed observation for each of the five elements. Listen carefully to the music, and be as specific as possible when describing what you hear. (5 pts)

S | Volume? Timbre? Texture?

H | Texture? Consonance? Mode?

M | Register? Phrasing?

R | Tempo? Meter?

G | Development? Form?

2. Explain which of your observations seem to be the most interesting. In other words, which element(s) help to make this music special? This is an opportunity to support your ideas from the previous assignment with some of the musical evidence gathered above. (2 pts)
