Assignment for Friday, Sept. 7

Take the sentence that you found last week and re-compose it, transforming it into a period. If you found a period instead, turn it into a sentence. If I noted that your phrase was not really a period or sentence, then please find a phrase which is less ambiguous - that will be easier for you to work with, and it will also help you to figure out the difference between these two phrase models.

You can use a computer notation program, or write it by hand. If you do write by hand, please be neat! Use a straightedge for stems and beams, and make sure your note heads are nice ovals.

Also, we will start on Haydn's Creation this Friday. Please look at Nos. 1, 1a and 2; don't go overboard, but try to figure out Roman numerals, or at least key centers. A couple of things to think about: how does the music explicate the text? Also, what is the phrase structure at the beginning of No. 3?
