Writing English A: Comparing & contrasting music・音楽が比較対照

Hello!



How are you? Here is a new post for today - writing comparison and contrast (比較対照) with pieces of music

Activity/homework
Check out these four (4) video filesListen to them as many times as you want or need. Select two (2) to write aboutCompare and contrast (比較対照してthem with each other. They are instrumental pieces of music only - there are no words or vocals

Important notes: 

Take notes about these pieces of music you select. Which do you like better? What qualities (質、優劣) do they have? 

Also - what do you believe the artists are expressing (発送して) through their music? What might the sounds give you feelings about? 


What kind of scenarios might each piece of music give you feelings about? What do you imagine as you see and think about them? You can imagine people, characters, animals - anything that comes to your mind as you listen is okay!


When writing your comparison and contrastwrite about the instruments (楽器) that are playing - for example, piano, brass, guitar, violins, and so forth. 


Now listen to all four (4) of these files - then choose two (2) for your comparison and contrast



File #1

File #2

File #3

File #4

I hope these pieces of music give you ideas and feelings to try out a different kind of writing. 

Take care! See you next week!
