Don't forget to spend enough time on each example. You won't get the points if each example is only briefly discussed.



Describe where text painting is happening and how it is happening in at least 10 instances.

For each of these instances, indicate when it is happening in the recording through a time frame. A time frame must include a start time AND an end time or else it does not count as a complete time frame and so does not go towards your 10 instances.

Each time frame must include the text that occurs during that time frame, a musical features, and an explanation as to how the musical feature “paints” or aids in the meaning of the text.

You must include at least one of the following four musical features in your discussion 1. texture (polyphony, homophony, or monophony), 2. mode (major or minor), 3. meter (duple or triple), and 4. number of voices contribute to the text painting. If you do not discuss at least one of each of the four features in your ten timings, you will automatically lose 4 points and lose 2 additional points for each additional feature you do not cover.
