Due Friday 4/2 3:30 p.m.

Harvey Mudd College, Spring 2021

  1. Watch--and take notes as you do--Lecture 11: The Influence of Minimalism (11:45)

  2. Here are some questions to keep in mind as you watch the video:
    • What are some distinctive characteristics and techniques of minimalist scores?
    • What kinds of feelings or effects do minimalist scores create that are distinct from Romantic or Modernist scores?
    • How has the style or use of electronic scores changed over time? (You may want to recall references to electronic music in previous lectures.)

  3. Go to Sakai->Forums->11 Response to video lecture 11 and write a paragraph response. You can respond to any of the above prompts or simply write your own unprompted critical thoughts on this topic. You may also read (and respond to) posts from others in the class, but your ideas should be your own. The paragraph should cite the video where appropriate and consist of at least 200 words.
