Music and Other Arts

INSTRUCTIONS:

In this assignment you will examine the early 20th-century musical era through key compositions and composers. Further analysis of the context in which a work of music is created is explored.  Review Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) and Debussy’s Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun). Focus on how non-musical artistic disciplines (namely, poetry and visual art) played a role in their creation.   Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that includes the following: A comparison of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) and Debussy’s Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) How are they different from the music of the romantic period? Use the elements of music from Week 1 to explain the differences. Explain the musical influences on both composers. What musical styles were influencing their compositions? How do their works reflect the incorporation of non-musical influences? Format any citations according to APA guidelines.
