SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
C1. TheoryandTerminology
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 extend their understanding of the elements and other components of music, particularly through practical application and aural recog- nition, and use appropriate terminology related to these elements (e.g., describe in detail elements of music as they relate to course repertoire and a broad range of aural examples; describe, recognize, and perform major, melodic and harmonic minor, whole tone, chromatic, and various blues scales; identify simple and compound intervals, as well as major, minor, and diminished triads; describe and demonstrate dominant, diminished, major, and minor seventh chords; describe and demonstrate cadences, including perfect, imperfect, and plagal; recognize various forms and aspects of form, such as strophic form, sonata form, refrain, motif, bridge, oratorio, vocables in Native American songs)
C1.2 demonstrate an understanding of, and use correct terminology related to, the concepts of notation in a variety of activities (e.g., demon- strate an understanding of notational format and conventions involved in scoring for various small ensembles; use correct notation when arranging
or transposing an existing polyphonic work of at least three parts/voices for a small ensemble; iden- tify and notate sound layering in various voicings; use graphic notation to reflect environmental source material in a soundscape)
C1.3 accurately reproduce, notate, or identify melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic examples (e.g., reproduce, aurally identify, and notate inter- vals from unison to an octave, including major, minor, diminished, and augmented intervals; notate melodies from four to eight measures in length; reproduce rhythm patterns and phrases related to their performance repertoire)
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 demonstrate an understanding of the devel- opment and function and/or theme of various musical forms and conventions (e.g., outline the part of the Catholic mass that best illustrates the use of cantus firmus; explain the use of overtures in opera and musical theatre; trace the development of instruments over time; create a CD of musical excerpts to illustrate the evolution of the concerto form)
Teacher prompt: “After careful listening, what characteristics of this selection lead you to conclude that it is not a baroque orchestral composition?”
C2.2 analyse, on the basis of research, and report on the characteristics of and ideas in traditional and contemporary music, including Aboriginal music, from Canada and around the world
