You should have submitted your final minuet compositions by Tuesday 5th / Wednesday 6th. 

AoS A (for Tuesday 12th December)

Make a Haydn timeline, adding career and life events plus any major works. You should use the following:

• Music Academy Online Biog (start with this)
• CMG Haydn from this folder in Moodle (pick up some extra details from this)
• You might also want to look at Taruskin – Haydn in the same Moodle folder for some more sophisticated notes
• There are some notes also in the Rhinegold Study Guide

Allegro Composition (for Tuesday 12th/Wednesday 13th)

Write a passage of 16 bars or more in a fast 4/4 (or 2/2 like the Haydn) as follows:

• Uses strings, flutes, oboes, horns and timps
• In G, D or A major
• Use phrases that are multiples of 2 bars
• No more than one or two chords per bar (depending on speed)
• Lands regularly on I
• Melody is made up of scales, arpeggios, auxiliary notes and repeated notes only
• Finishes with a ii-V-I cadence

The passage MUST include (for notes on these please look at the WCT Fingerprints page):

• a tonic pedal (Use some of I , ii, IV, V⁷ and vii over it)
• some parallel thirds and/or sixths
• some octave unison

In class we looked at:

• Stamitz – La Melodia Germanica No 1 – First Mov (first movement)
• Mozart – Symphony 41 (first movement)
• Haydn – Symphony 104

You can use other ideas but they must be taken from the models provided (in the Allegro folder on Moodle).
