Complete the Final Exam (download off of D2L and print it out). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since the nal is essentially a review assignment, there are a couple questions on there that force you to put your knowledge to more creative use. These are specically numbers 12 and 13. In both, I ask that you use good voice leading; that is, try to move each voice in the chord by step, avoiding leaps when possible (the bass in #12 can leap around, that's ne), and try to keep common tones between chords (e.g., if you have a Bb in the upper voice in one chord and there is a Bb in the next chord too, then just keep the Bb in the upper voice). Avoid writing chords that leap around all over the place. You can review these concepts by going over Chapter 11 again, starting on p. 216 in your textbook. In #1, write the name of the interval (P5, M3, m3, etc.) in the box. You do not need to give me the number of half steps. #5 Give me only the accidentals that are necessary; that is, don't repeat accidentals that are taken care of by the key signature on the staff. Only give me accidentals that are necessary alterations to the scale. I don't want to see any accidentals in parentheses either, I know you were asked to do that on previous assignments when you were rst learning this material, but it just clutters up the score. Let the key signature do its work. If I see any unnecessary accidentals, I will mark it wrong as it indicates that you don't understand how key signatures function. In #13, please also include Roman Numerals under the staff. I ask you to pick chords that would best t the melody. I only give you two chords to choose from, so this shouldn't be too difcult. Count up the notes in each measure of the melody and see what chord would work best for that measure. Pay attention especially to the notes that are on the beat (as opposed to the notes that are off beat that is, on the "and" part of the beat). Notes that are on the beat are generally perceived more strongly. Note that the rst note of the melody is just a pickup and that you don't need to give it a chord. #14 the melody is in a Major key. Use the key signature to identify the key rst. Give me the solfege for each note. Note the clef sign. Actually, in general... ***BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO CLEF SIGNS!*** If there are any questions, feel free to email me. Good luck!
