QUESTION 2
Listen to Track 4 ("Reviewing the Situation" from Oliver! by Lionel Bart; 1991;
National Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Owen Edwards; TER Ltd
CDTER1184)
2.1 Identify the character that you hear.
Fagin – a Jewish thief, who leads a gang of street urchins in London,
who are pick pockets.
2.2 State the context of this song in the musical.
This is sung towards the end of the musical where Fagin is thinking
about his personal situation; what he has done with his life, and how
he should go about changing it: possibly following the straight and
narrow.
2.3 Identify and comment on two characteristics in the music that inform the
audience of the character's cultural background.
Fagin is Jewish: the use of the "oom-pah-pah" bass, which is typical
of the Jewish Klezmer style – a traditional Jewish/Hebrew/Israeli style
of music; violin interludes using the Jewish Phrygian mode and the
gradual accelerando, reminiscent of traditional Israeli songs like
"Hava Nagila".
2.4 How is this song typical of a musical theatre number?
It tells us more about Fagin's character, in particular the mixed
feelings he has about his current life. The character bursts into song.
Interspersed with dialogue, moves action forward, tells us about the
character's thoughts and emotions, not technically demanding, 32-
bar, AABA.
Listen to Track 5. It is the introduction to Track 4 (Introduction to "Reviewing
the Situation" from Oliver! by Lionel Bart; 1991; National Symphony
Orchestra conducted by John Owen Edwards; TER Ltd CDTER1184)
2.5 How does the composer create tension in the introduction to this number?
What dispels the tension as the song progresses?
Forte, chord and tremolo on low strings and timpani. Falling two note
patterns which rise sequentially, held note/pedal in LH. Rising triadic
patterns. Chromaticism. Accents. Minor key. Woodwinds play rising
patterns. Pause/bar's rest. Diminished 7ths
Tension is dispersed by faster second section of the verse with the
oom-pah-bass. Flute pattern – 4 quavers on alternating notes.
Mocking nature of lyrics.

QUESTION 3
Listen to Track 6 (1st Subject from Symphony No 40 in g minor by
W.A. Mozart: Music, An Appreciation" Roger Kamien CDs to accompany the
9th Edition; Disk 3 Track 10; McGraw-Hill Companies/Sony BMG Music 2006)
3.1 Which theme of the movement is heard in the extract?
1st subject/theme
3.2 Mozart developed this theme from a 3-note motive – printed below. Name
three compositional techniques that he used, and describe how he used
them to construct the 4-bar phrase.
Repetition, Variation and Sequence (1 mark each = 3 marks): After we
hear the motive for the first time, he repeats it immediately, then he
repeats it and extends it/varies it by adding a rising 6th after the 3rd
note. Then he uses the rhythm of s-s-l in a 3-note descending pattern,
which he sequences twice – descending. (2 marks for the description
of their use.) Question and answer.
3.3 Name the Mannheim technique that is present in the first two notes of the
motive.
The Mannheim sigh
Listen to Track 7a and 7b (2nd subject from recap and exposition from
Symphony No 40 in g minor by W.A. Mozart: Music, An Appreciation" Roger
Kamien CDs to accompany the 9th Edition; CD 3 Track 17 and Track 12;
McGraw-Hill Companies/Sony BMG Music 2006)
3.4 Which theme of the movement is heard in the tracks?
2nd subject/theme
3.5 Explain the difference in tonality between the two versions of the theme.
Track 7a is from the recapitulation: we know this because it is in a
minor key (g minor) and the 2nd subject is always in the tonic key in
the recapitulation.
Track 7b is from the exposition – it is in a major key (B Flat major).
This is to be expected as the 2nd subject is in the dominant or, as in
the case of this symphony, which begins in g minor, in the relative
major.

3.6 Listen to Track 7b again. On the theme that is printed below, identify and
label, the cadences that are heard at the end of each phrase. Remember to
state the key.
B Flat Major Imperfect cadence
Perfect cadence /
Authentic cadence
3.7 Name two characteristics of this work, other than orchestration/
instrumentation, that indicate that it was written in the Classical period.
The texture is mainly homophonic throughout; the phrases are
balanced: 4 bars; melody is motivic; modulation is to closely-related
keys; structure is a clear sonata form. Periodic phrasing, memorable
melody, use of the Mannheim sigh, varied moods compared to
Baroque, diatonic harmony, Classical Sonata cycle, gradual dynamic
change. Any other valid answer that does not refer to the
orchestration/instrumentation.
QUESTION 4
Listen to Track 8 (Erlkönig: Bar 86–97) and Track 9 (Erlkönig: Bar 116–123:
Music, An Appreciation" Roger Kamien CDs to accompany the 9th Edition;
CD 4 Track 52 and Track 53; McGraw-Hill Companies/Sony BMG Music 2006)
4.1 Identify the 'character' depicted in these two tracks.
Erlkönig
4.2 Complete the table below to compare the two extracts.
ELEMENT TRACK 8 TRACK 9
Tonality [0.5 × 2 = 1] Major Major & Minor
Repetitive triplets in

NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE: MUSIC: PAPER I – MARKING GUIDELINES Page 7 of 15
4.3 With reference to the story, and to the elements in the table above, explain
the change in tone between the two verses.
In the first extract, the Erlkönig is trying to entice the child – which is
why Schubert uses the major key, which contrasts with the preceding
sections, sung by the narrator, father and son in the minor key. In the
second extract, the Erlkönig is becoming impatient because he is not
getting his own way with the boy, which is why it begins in the major
but ends in the minor to reflect the Erlkönig's frustration and anger at
the child. The arpeggiated piano accompaniment in the first extract
mirrors the enticing nature of the Erlkönig but as he becomes angry,
Schubert maintains the repetitive triplet pattern in the right hand,
which adds to the tension in the words. Arpeggiated pattern can also
represent the dancing of the Erlking's daughters.
NB: Reference must be made to the intention and "mood" of the
Erlkönig in the explanation. Straightforward repetition of the facts
from the table will not gain marks.
Listen to Track 10 (Erlkönig original Bar 57–72; Music, An Appreciation"
Roger Kamien CDs to accompany the 9th Edition; CD 4 Track 51; McGraw-
Hill Companies/Sony BMG Music 2006) and Track 11 (Erlkönig orchestrated
by Liszt Bars 57–72 Hermann Prey, baritone, Munich Philharmonic under
Gary Bertini 1977 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvd2fJGo3oI>), which
is a different arrangement of the same section of the work.
4.4 With reference to the story, comment on the effectiveness of the
orchestrated version, compared with the original setting. State which
version you prefer, giving a reason for your choice.
Sense of the horse galloping is maintained in the strings, but very
softly. The use of the broken chords in the flute with the light harp
accompaniment serves to emphasise the enticing tone of the Erlkönig.
In the original, the accompaniment pattern changes from the triplets in
the RH to the splitting of the triplet pattern between the two hands. But
there is no counter-melody in the original. Own opinion – no mark for
opinion: 1 mark for reason.

Companies/Sony BMG Music 2006)
The lyrics to Track 12, and some background to the work, can be found in the
Resource Booklet as APPENDIX B.
In an essay, compare similarities and differences of the two pieces heard in
Track 12 and Track 13.
In addition to the comparison, which will form the body of your essay, also:
• Provide a brief background to the two genres.
• Comment on the depiction of characters in the musical settings.
• State the context of the extract from your set work, and name the character
who is singing.
In conclusion, offer your own opinion as to which track you prefer, and justify it
with reference to the use of two elements of music.
Ensure that you compare the two pieces, and not only the genres.
Your essay will be marked using the following rubric:
RUBRIC FOR ESSAY

6.1 Identify the style of jazz, and state the decade in which it developed.
Bebop – 1940s
6.2 Why did this style develop?
Solo jazz performers who had played with big bands, were no longer
satisfied with the principles of "big band" jazz, and wanted to return to
the basic principles of jazz, which placed solo improvisation at the
heart of the genre.
6.3 List two characteristics that you can hear in the recording which are typical
of the style.
Small combo: front line & rhythm section; solo sax and trumpet; fast
tempo; short note values; ride and crash cymbals most noticeable in
rhythm accompaniment with occasional "bombs" on the bass drum.
Motivic melody – short phrases. Use of chromaticism. Articulation.
Solo improvisation – limited collective improvisation. Virtuosic
playing. Asymmetrical phrases, walking bass, fragmented melody.
6.4 Clearly mark the sections (form) of the piece on the lead sheet. Please note
that there is an 8-bar introduction which is not notated on the lead sheet.
Intro – not on lead sheet; A: 1–8; A: 1–8 (2nd time bar) – no mark for

QUESTION 7
Listen to Track 15. It is a song called Back of the Moon from the South African
Jazz Musical King Kong, composed in 1958 by Todd Matshikiza. The lyrics are
reproduced as APPENDIX C in the Resource Booklet.
7.1 Identify and comment on the social conditions, referred to in the song,
which influenced the development of South African urban music from the
late 19th century onwards.
Shebeens, Shanty Towns and Shacks "built for Blacks". Even before
Apartheid, there was segregation of the races. Shanty Towns
developed as men from the rural areas moved to urban areas in
search of work on the mines. Living conditions were poor. Because
blacks were not allowed to buy liquor, Shebeens – illegal drinking
spots, where illegal alcohol was brewed, became social meeting
places in the shanty towns. Music was played in the shebeens and
many styles developed and were played in shebeens, long before they
were recorded. Mining hostels.
7.2 Describe the musical features of ONE style of South African urban music
that developed prior to 1958, as a direct result of the social conditions that
you have named above.
Marabi: "gangsters" – piano / keyboard music influenced by ragtime
(syncopated RH / steady LH) with much improvisation in the LH. Drew
the patrons to the shebeens because of the lively, upbeat style. Cyclic
harmonic progression: the marabi progression: I IV Ic V underpins the
music/improvisations. Cheap pedal organs
OR
Kwela: "get up" – pennywhistle music associated with shanty towns
and shebeens. Because shebeens were illegal, the police would often
raid them. Young kwela players would stand on the street corners and
play their pennywhistles to warn shebeen patrons of the approach of
the police. Characterised by short, repetitive melodic phrases and
repeating, cyclic harmonic progressions based on I, IV and V. Often
uses the marabi progression.
