HUM 266 Week 3 Individual Assignment Music Paper

Resource My Humanities Kit® on the student website.

Write a 350- to 700-word paper outlining the differences between Baroque and Classical music.

Listen to several pieces of Baroque period music and Classical period music. Then choose one piece of music from each period to compare.

Find and listen to the Baroque period piece Pachelbel’s Canon in D major.
From My Humanities Kit® listen to additional Baroque music—such as Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto, or Handel’s Water Music.
From My Humanities Kit® listen to Classical music—such as by Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven.

Address the following aspects:

Is there a difference in the size of the orchestra and the use of instruments?
Comment on some of the elements of composition in each piece: sound, rhythm, melody, harmony, tonality, and texture.
What mood does each piece suggest to you?

Conclude with some reflections on how both pieces differ from modern popular music.
