Concert Band Research Assignments

Flutes - American Riversongs
Clarinets - Gold Rush, John O'Reilly
Low Voices/Sax - Duke Ellington
Trumpets - John P. Sousa
Percussion - Don't Stop Believing

These are due by the end of the 6 week grading period (next Friday). They will count for your grade. Information I want:

  • Composer name
  • Era of music - what time period is this music from?
    • what major historic events took place in this time period?
  • Why was/is this music important?
  • Who is it most significant to?
  • How did it change the course of music history?
  • A list of other works and accomplishments of the composer
Write down your individual findings, then collaborate in class to come up with a paragraph about each composer.
