Write two to four substantial paragraphs

Same question as on the last test:

"If you had lived during the Renaissance, which genre would you have preferred to listen to, and why?"

Process:  use the following to illustrate your answers:

• the name of a specific genre
• how the elements of music were used in this genre (texture, language, rhythm, harmony)
• the purpose of this genre – (sacred vs. secular)
• where you would have listened to this genre (this could be a country, a particular building, inside a church, outside, traveling around, etc.)
• why you would choose to listen to this genre over at least one other specific genre discussed during this unit - tell me the name of this genre, and why you would choose not to listen

Rules:

1. Do not quote answers from the test in your essay. 
2. Remember, you are living during the Renaissance - not the 21st Century.   What you listen to now doesn't apply to this answer.
3. Write a short essay, not a list!
