                                  Presentations 12th/13th January 2009


This module has been concerned with the 20th century and Modernism, and you are therefore
required to submit a paper on the following:

What is music?

Although the question appears simple, be sure to demonstrate that your work reflects and
engages with the full range of ideas discussed during the module, and acknowledges key
historical perspectives and developments. In answering this question, you may find it useful to
consider the following statements:

If this word music is sacred and reserved for eighteenth and nineteenth century instruments, we can
substitute a more meaningful term: organisation of sound. (Cage, 1937)

There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we
cannot. Until I die there will be sounds. And they will continue after my death. One need not fear
about the future of music. In musical terms, any sounds may occur in any combination and in any
continuity. (Cage, 1957)

Mankinds first musical performance couldnt have been anything other than a free improvisation
(Bailey, 1992)

For mid term, students will make a 10 minute presentation based on a 1000 word paper
which needs to include the following:

       The research carried out so far, including both visual and audio
        examples
       An analysis of the research material gathered  i.e. why are your
        examples relevant and what do they mean?
       Conclusions reached so far
       An outline of the research needed to complete the brief by
        January
The presentation needs to make use of PowerPoint or Keynote, or an equivalent
programme and the 1000 word paper needs to be handed in to me.

Dont worry if youve not used PowerPoint before  nows a good time to learn!

Mid terms need to be ready by 10am on Thursday 12th November

Any problems, book a tutorial
