Use the textbook as a primary source along with at least 3 other sources, one additional source for each
composer, found online or at a library.
3 composers: Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner, & Gustav Mahler
FINAL ESSAY TOPIC:
“From all the composers whose music we have heard in Chapters 15 through 23,
choose the three composers that you wish most to have met. For each composer sum
up their essential biography and describe in detail, using the vocabulary and
terminology learned from the course, an example of their music heard on the course
CDs. Include in your essay reasons for your choices and three questions you would
have liked to ask each one along with the answers they may have given based on
what you learned from your research about each composer.”
The essay should be written in paragraph format, no bullet points. Write a full and
thorough essay of at least 900 words not counting the bibliography. Points will be
deducted for essays that are too brief. The essay is a research paper. Use the textbook as a
primary source along with at least 3 other sources, one additional source for each
composer, found online or at a library. YouTube is not an acceptable source. Do not list
search engines, like google.com, as a source. Instead give the exact web address of
websites. Do not discuss musical works using track numbers. Discuss them using the
terminology learned from the course. The grade for the essay will be based on content,
style and grammar, and most importantly your use of musical terms and terminology.
Your essay should be written in your own voice. So put what you learn from your
research into your own words. This will help avoid plagiarism, too.
Be sure to document by citing the source with a footnote, endnote, or internal note, any
directly quoted or paraphrased material within your essay. Use quotation marks where
needed. No more than 10% of the essay can be direct quotes. Lastly, include a
bibliography of the sources you used in writing the essay. The essay should be at least
900 words to about 1200 words, not including the bibliography. If your essay has the
minimum word count (around 1000 words including the bibliography), 3 additional
outside sources, and stays on topic and has no more than 10% direct quotes and no
evidence of plagiarism, then you are guaranteed a passing grade of 70 for the essay. For
those who are repeating the course and might have written on this topic or a similar one,
you cannot reuse the previously submitted paper. You must write a fresh, all new essay.
Use this book source-“Listen 8th Ed. Joseph Kerman, Gary Tomlinson.” If you could use these musical works below for the three composers for the final essay. I’m just trying to make a good final grade and relying on this to be spot on.
Richard Wagner, The Valkyrie(1851-1856)
Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 1 (1888)
Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op 67 (1808)
