__**Senior Music History Assignment**__

__**Due Date**__: Monday May 3rd, 2010


 * __Length__**: 500 - 750 words to be posted on Wikispaces

Your assignment is to choose a stylistic feature (or two) from your time period, and research information on your topic. You are to find listening examples (short clips) from your musical selections which demonstrate your findings. Once you have your materials, you are to create one Wikispaces page for each stylistic feature you select and write a reference page using your research. Include listening examples on your page. Name your wikispaces page using the following format: Your last name - Your Topic. For example, Ms. Drysdale's page on Fugue would have the title "Drysdale - Fugue" You may choose to be as creative as you like. You can present your findings in written form, by screen cast or present a video documentary.
