The IEB will not enter into any discussions or correspondence about any marking guidelines. It is acknowledged that there may be different views about some matters of emphasis or detail in the guidelines. It is also recognised that, without the benefit of attendance at a standardisation meeting, there may be different interpretations of the application of the marking guidelines.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE: MUSIC: PAPER II – MARKING GUIDELINES Page 5 of 12 QUESTION 2 Choose ONE of the music examples (a), (b) or (c) below and answer the questions that follow: (a) (b) (c) 2.1 Write down the letter of your choice and NAME the work and the composer of your chosen example, e.g. (d) West Side Story – Leonard Bernstein. (a) Catalogue Aria / Madamina from Don Giovanni – W A Mozart OR (b) Erlkönig – Franz Schubert OR (c) "Who will buy"? from Oliver! – Lionel Bart 2.2 Name the character that sings the extract and state the context of the extract in the work as a whole. (a) Leporello: he is listing his master's (Don Giovanni's) conquests to Donna Elvira. He describes the women that Don Giovanni has "conquered" OR (b) The Father: he is calming his son by saying, "be still – all you can hear/see are the leaves rustling on the trees" OR (c) The Rose Seller: she is singing "Will you buy my sweet red roses?". She is a street seller in London, who is joined by other sellers, all singing about their products. Mark with continuous accuracy. If letter of extract is not stated, no marks. 2.3 Define the type of piece/genre of your chosen extract. Motivate why the extract is/is not a good example of the type of piece that it represents.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE: MUSIC: PAPER II – MARKING GUIDELINES Page 6 of 12 (a) ARIA – a song for solo voice accompanied by orchestra: this is a good example of an aria because Leporello is expressing himself in song. However, unlike many arias, he is describing Don Giovanni's conquests rather than expressing his own emotions. A Catalogue aria lists items, making this a good example of it. Could also be Opera + definition and motivation. (b) LIED/ART SONG – a song for solo voice accompanied by piano – sung in German. This is a good example of the genre because it fits this description and also because the story includes both natural and supernatural elements, which is typical of Romanticism. Characters are depicted through the use of the upper, middle and lower range of the voice. The piano and the voice are equal partners in the setting with the piano depicting programmatic elements like the galloping horse. (c) ENSEMBLE – a number of characters express their differing emotions at the same time in song. In this number, each seller is advertising his/her wares by singing a specific melody with words relating to the goods for sale. However, unlike many ensembles, they are not expressing their emotions. Could also be Musical + definition NOTE: the definition needs to be included in the answer. Other valid points in terms of the motivation will be accepted. Mark allocation: 1 mark for definition. 1 mark for motivation. IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER
