(Revised Dec. 16) Music Player with the two tracks we used for practicing for the Intelligent Listening Checklist paper. Listen to the music and follow along with the sheet music you received in class. Here's an analysis of the Clapton record.
Note: because the above two records were discussed in class, you can not use either of them for your checklist paper.
(Also, added some links for Aaron Copland. See the December 1st entry below.)

Further instructions about the Intelligent Listening paper and your take-home essay
December 1, 2004
Seeing we didn't get a chance to play music written by Aaron Copland in class today, I thought I'd put this Music Player on the Web with some of his music for you to hear. Read about Aaron Copland. And more about Copland.

Here we are -- the last two weeks. To double check that you know what you're responsible for: as discussed in class, there will be a final exam that will include a take-home essay question and there will be an Intelligent Listening paper. E-mail me if you have questions about the final, the take-home essay or the Intelligent Listening paper.
