                   listener to aurally relate to what you have written.

                   Polonaise          Short solo instrumental music piece that portrays
                                       an idea or atmosphere and started flourishing in

                                       nationalism depicting the Polish national identity.
                                      The polonaise is majestic and powerful with
                                       moments of lyrical contrast.
                                      It evokes the ancient splendour of the Polish
                                       people.

     Art song      Schubert uses a through-composed form
                    structure to capture the content and character of
                    the poem.
                   The piano part with its rapid octaves and
                    menacing bass motive conveys the tension of the
                    wild ride.
                   The piano's continuous triplet rhythm unifies the
                    episodes of the song and suggests the horse's
                    gallop.
                   By imaginatively varying the music, Schubert
                    makes one singer sing like several characters in
                    a miniature drama.
                   E.g. the terrified boy sings in a higher register in
                    minor key.
                   Each time the boy sings a musical outcry it is
                    intensified through dissonant harmonies.
                   To convey mounting fear, Schubert pitches the
                    boy's outcry higher and higher each time.
     Opera         Portrays a Bohemian life similar to his own life as
                    an impoverished music student.
                   There is a smooth transition from one scene or
                    mood to the next.
                   The melodies are made out of short, easily
                    remembered phrases and are intensely
                    emotional.
                   He used the orchestra to reinforce the vocal
                    melody and to suggest atmosphere, landscape
                    and mood.
                   He minimised the difference between aria and
                    recitative, creating a continuous flow of music.
                   Characters and plot revealed through song –
                    Main characters are Rodolfo, a young poet and
                    Mimi, a poor seamstress.
                   Large Romantic orchestra.
                   La Bohème has four acts. Puccini achieves unity
                    and continuity by using the same material in
                    different acts.
                   Puccini was very much concerned with the
                    literary and dramatic qualities of his librettos.

                                   expression.
                               •   The first movement begins with the soloist who

                                   strings. Traditionally the orchestra would have an
                                   extended opening section.
                               •   The piece uses a wide range of dynamics.

                               •   The cadenza is placed between the development
                                   and the recapitulation to become an integral part
                                   of the movement.
                   Symphonic   •   An orchestral composition that relates a particular
                   poem            story, picture or idea through the use of sound.

                                   Czechoslovakia.
                               •   Two streamlets (one warm, and one cold), which
                                   are both represented by their own instruments
                                   (flute – cold; clarinet – warm).
                               •   The rivers converge into a large river – becomes
                                   the river theme.
                               •   A hunting exhibition is pictured by a dotted
                                   rhythm in the music.
                               •   A country dance has typical folk-like character.
                               •   The work is part of the cycle Má Vlast (My
                                   Country).
                               •   The piece is both a romantic representation of
                                   nature and a display of Czech nationalism.
                               •   Contrasting musical sections that represent
                                   different scenes and episodes described in the

                               •   Running notes portray the running river.
                               •   Smetana uses musical effects that call to mind a
                                   flowing stream, a hunting scene, a peasant
                                   wedding and the crash of waves.

      Heavy Metal           Heavy metal is a genre of rock music that developed in
                             the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United
                             Kingdom and the United States.
                            With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the
                             bands that created heavy metal
                            developed a thick, massive sound, characterised by
                             highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, and
                             emphatic beats.
      Rhythm &              Although the acronym “R&B” originates from its
      Blues Pop              association with traditional rhythm and blues music,
                             the term R&B is today most often used to define a
                             style of African American music originated after the
                             demise of disco in the 1980s.
                            This newer style, often described as contemporary
                             R&B, combines elements of soul, funk, pop, and from
                             1986 on, hip hop.
                            Uses of hip hop inspired beats are typical, although the
                             roughness and grit inherent in hip hop is usually
                             reduced and smoothed out.
      Glam Rock             Glam Rock is a sub-genre of Rock music.
                            Glam Rock uses all the stylistic elements of Rock and
                             heavy metal, but the feel is lighter and faster.
                            Artists wear make-up and outlandish outfits and
                             hairstyles
      Brit Pop              Brit Pop was a mid-1990s British alternative rock genre
                             and movement that was at its most popular in Great
                             Britain.
                            The movement emerged from the Indie scene of the
                             early 1990s and was characterised by bands
                             influenced by British guitar pop music of the 1960s and
                             1970.
                            The movement developed as a reaction against
                             various musical and cultural trends in the late 1980s
                             and early 1990s, particularly the grunge phenomenon
                             from the United States.
      Girl/Boy              The 1990s and 21st century were marked by a
      Bands                  resurgence of boy band and girl group trends.
                            The music has specific stylistic traits such as a
                             danceable beat, simple melodies, and repetitive
                             structure so that people can catch on and join in easily.     (3)

                                           not for their own sake, but to enhance

          POP                               music industry have included, among
                                            other things, a revolutionary
                                            transformation of music videos,
                                            epitomised by 1983’s Thriller, often
                                            cited as the greatest music video of all
                                            time.
                                           He became the first black entertainer
                                            to amass a strong following on MTV
                                            while leading the relatively young
                                            channel out of obscurity.
                                           His distinctive style, moves, and vocals
                                            have inspired, influenced, and
                                            spawned a whole generation of hip
                                            hop, pop, and R&B artists, including
                                            Mariah Carey, Usher, Britney Spears,
                                            Justin Timberlake, and Chris Brown,
                                            among others.
          GLAM      David Bowie            In 1970 Bowie released The man Who
          ROCK                              Sold The World, rejecting the acoustic
                                            guitar sound of the previous album and
                                            replaced it with heavy rock
                                            accompaniment.
                                           After a three-year period of
                                            experimentation he re-emerged in
                                            1972 during the glam-rock era as a
                                            flamboyant, androgynous alter ego
                                            Ziggy Stardust. The relatively short-
                                            lived Ziggy persona epitomised a
                                            career often marked by musical
                                            innovation, reinvention and striking
                                            visual presentation.
                                           Bowie was the only artist of this genre
                                            that made international stardom that
                                            eventually had an input in the
                                            development of Glam Metal (KISS)
                                            and other similar genres.

       BRIT      Oasis                
                                Stylistically, Oasis relied on catchy looks
       POP                      and wrote lyrics that were meant to be
                                relevant to British young people of their
                                own generation.
                               Due to Oasis, in 1994, the term Britpop,
                                although used previously in the late
                                1980s, entered the popular
                                consciousness, being used extensively
                                by the music press and radio DJs.
       GIRL/   Spice           SPICE GIRLS: Spice Girls spread and
       BOY     Girls/Westlife   embraced the term “girl power” which
       BANDS                    formed the centrepiece of their appeal as
                                a band. The phrase became a cultural
                                phenomenon and was adopted as the
                                mantra for millions of girls and even
                                making it into the Oxford English
                                Dictionary. In summation of the concept,
                                author Ryan Dawson said, “The Spice
                                Girls changed British culture enough for
                                Girl Power to now seem completely
                                unremarkable”.
                               WESTLIFE: Although yet another boy
                                band, Westlife instantly became
                                recognisable and different to other boy
                                bands with their soaring melodies and
                                rousing lyrics, the music injects an
                                undeniably fresh approach to this genre.              (3)
       (ONE FOR REPRESENTATIVE ARTIST/BAND AND TWO FOR THEIR
       CONTRIBUTION THEREOF.)
                                                                                      [6]

                     pitches could result in different meanings
                    Different types of songs, e.g. praise songs                          (11)

Mzilikazi Khumalo      Rhythm is used as a unifying element.
                       Despite the simplicity of his works, polyphonic textures
                        are used.
                     Traditional diatonic harmonies are used.
                     Rhythmic patterns change quickly and are often intricate.
                     Syncopation is used abundantly
                     Parallel movement between voices in choral works is
                        evident.

                     Sangena; Bawo, Thixo Somandla
                    (ANY FOUR WORKS)
Niel van der Watt    Van der Watt makes use of extended tonality. Although
                       the music is tonal, the music does not stay in the home
                       key for long and modulates to distant related keys
                     His works do not often begin and end in the same key.
                     In a basic triadic construction, 2nds, 4ths, and 6ths are
                       added to give subtle harmonic shadings.
                     Homophonic and polyphonic textures are used
                       alternatingly. He often employs other polyphonic
                       principles such as imitation.
                     He often uses syncopation to accent or to ‘bend’ words in
                       order to create a specific atmosphere.
                     The atmosphere created by the text/lyrics determines his
                       use of rhythm.
                     While Van der Watt’s early works show the influence of
                       late romanticists like Rachmaninovff and Faurè, his
                       mastery of harmony and counterpoint belies a deep
                       understanding of and reverence for the great master
                       Johann Sebastian Bach.
