Due Wednesday, 12/5
The Final Project will involve composing and performing a tonal melody.
You choose:
- the performing medium (piano, voice, guitar, etc.)
- the key (mode and tonic)
- the meter
The melody should have an A B A or A B A' construction
The A and A' sections should end with an implied authentic cadence (V-I
or V-i)
The B section should end with an implied half cadence (ends on V)
The melody should use many of the same compositional techniques as the melodic dictations (beginning-middle-end, establishing the tonic, arpeggiated tonic/subdominant/dominant triads, tendency tones, cadence patterns, etc).
Please enter your melody in Finale and turn in a print-out.
