Choose one of the composers and one of their pieces from the Week 9 slideshow. You are going to convince a friend or family member to listen to this piece
of music! Choose which friend or family member you are going to convince, and write them a letter.
(Yes, you’ll start with “Dear….. whomever”)
In your first paragraph, write a little about the composer and why you chose that composer to write to them about. What is it about that composer that you
find interesting? Why did you choose this particular piece of music? What is it about that piece of music that makes you want to convince your friend or
family member to listen to it?
In your second paragraph, describe the piece of music. You can write about instruments, sounds, techniques, tempo, dynamics, anything that would give your
reader enough details about the piece so that they could have some idea of what they would be hearing when they get the chance to listen to it.
In your third paragraph, tell them why you think *they* would like it – do they like other music like this? Do they have an open mind when it comes to new
sounds? Do they like other genres of contemporary art? (In other words, why did you choose this person to write to?)
If you want to, you can actually send this letter/email to the person! Don’t forget to include the link to the recording if you do. And if they listen and write back,
please let me know!
