Define timbre in your own words, and give an example from this week’s listening that helps demonstrate its meaning.

Part 1: Reflect on Content
(100 words = SHORT)

Our concepts this week include timbre and texture.

Define timbre in your own words, and give an example from this week’s listening that helps demonstrate its meaning.

Define texture in your own words, and give a different example from this week’s listening that helps demonstrate its meaning(s).

Be specific in your language and in the examples you give. The goal is both to demonstrate your own understanding of the terms, and to help expand others’ understanding of them.

This is the SHORTER of the two sections. Part 2 (below) represents your main submission.

Part 2: Outside Example
(200 words = LONGER)

Think of an example among the music you listen to that might explore and demonstrate one or more of these concepts. Post a video/link (e.g., youtube) that applies one or more of your ideas from Part 1 to a song or performance you are familiar with and enjoy. It does not have to be Western Art Music (i.e., what we loosely call “classical”)–and ideally will not be, unless that is the music that you, personally, know and listen to.

Be specific in tying the sample to the ideas you discussed in Part 1, including listing time stamps if necessary to support your points. The idea is that you, as the foremost expert on the music you listen to and enjoy, are introducing both the song and your ideas to your classmates. You want to help them hear what you are hearing, so they can engage with your sample and your thoughts about it.
