How do the previous authors and texts contribute to the *creation* of Austens work in terms of literary devices and thematic ideas?

Monday, Final Assignment DUE by 12:30pm (i.e. after noon). Analysis of Sense and Sensibility that incorporates to some degree the elements of our course: i.e., history, culture, and backgrounds of English literature. The Norton Introductions will be helpful here, but dont simply summarize them. That is, the historical material must relate to whatever theme-based thesis you use. Think of this as a cause/effect, from epic to novel. But the bottom line: focus on Austens book (characters and characterization), perhaps in light of some previous authors. In terms of ease, focus on characters. For instance, using the hero model from our course, how did we get from Beowulf and Sir Gawain to Jane Austen? (Think in terms of Campbells classic definition of hero and heroism; external actions and internal consciousness; changing roles of men and women.) No plot summary; no character description: analysis, interpretation, explanation of a thematic idea. Submit to the drop-box on Canvas. You will need approximately 7 pages to do this. Quality counts more than length. If you build from ideas in previous assignments, do in fact build on ideas dont summarize the course. The objective is for you to be able to understand and to discriminate between the genres of epic, Romance, and novel and to say something about the poetics of language (i.e., imagery, symbolism, connotation, etc.).

This link is also available in the Ask A Librarian: Citing Sources link. YOUR THREE TOPICS: I. Baroque/Renaissance Comparison From your reading and listening you have come to understand that the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque styles have many similar and different characteristics. In the Baroque/Renaissance Comparison you are asked to identify some of those similarities and differences by comparing the works studied in topic-2 with the Medieval and Renaissance works analyzed in Topic-1. For your discussion, use the following guiding questions: On the Medieval or Renaissance side, choose the anonymous Organum Gaude Maria virgo, Josquin Desprezs Ave Mariavirgo serena, or Palestrinas Gloria, depending also on which one you find most appropriate for the comparison. Support your discussion pointing to particular instances in Handels piece that offer concrete examples of stylistic differences. Feel free to refer to other aspects such as the use of text, or the role of the cultural-historical context in which the work was created. 2) The Renaissance madrigal is an extraordinary example of how vocal music can reflect the meaning of literary ideas in an almost translation-like fashion, through the use of the technique of word or text painting. Composers of the Baroque period such as Vivaldi applied the same principle to instrumental music, through the use of literary texts or programs that influenced the sound and form of the music. Compare Vivaldis Spring with Farmers Fair Phyllis pointing out differences as well as similarities, if any, between these two works. How are they different in form? In your opinion, what performance medium–instruments or voices–is better suit for the technique of word painting? Support your discussion by pointing to particular instances in Vivaldis piece that offer concrete examples of stylistic differences. Feel free to refer to other aspects such as the role of the cultural-historical context in which the work was created. II. Mozart / Beethoven Comparison During the Classic period, composers developed instrumental music dissociating it from the world of ideas characteristic of the word painting techniques of the Renaissance and Baroque. The result was absolute or pure music where the story is the music itself. Form became the fundamental basis on which the musical story was told, and the pattern used for most multi-movement pieces of the Classical period was the sonata cycle. Based on your listening of: Mozarts serenade Eine Kleine Natchmusik First Movement AND Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 First Movement and your reading about the multimovement cycle, please address the following ideas in this topics forum: How are the movements balanced in terms of tempo and form? Explain. Explain the form of each movement in detail, describing exactly what is happening in terms of melody, harmony, timbre, and texture. What is similar/different about the different themes and treatment of the themes in the development section? ***Compare and contrast the two movements. How is the treatment of the form similar? How is the treatment of the form different? What do you think were the reasons for the Classical composers to define an order of movements with the particular use of tempo and character displayed in the multimovement cycle? In your opinion, which is the most dramatic of the two movements? Why? Which is the least dramatic? Why? Do you think most people are comfortable with the notion of pure instrumental music? Or is it too abstract? Feel free to elaborate on your own ideas about this issue. Support your discussion pointing to particular instances in both pieces that offer concrete examples for some of the ideas presented. Feel free to refer to other aspects such as the role of the cultural-historical context in which the work was created, and/or the role of the cultural-historical context in which you have grown up and that has influenced your sensitivity as a listener. III. Romantic Program Music In the Romantic period, composers created music that aimed to express the subjective emotional states of the individual, replacing the Classical emphasis on form and logical balance with an emphasis on expression that produced an expansion of form. Paradoxically, this expansion happened in two opposite directions: concentration of expression into small compact forms using one or two performers, and concentration of expression into large forms using massive numbers of performers. Based on your listening of: Schubert, Elfking AND Berlioz, Symphonie Fantastique, IV Discuss in detail the musical characteristics (Keep in mind that one is an example of small Romantic forms, and the other an example of larger forms) that made an impression on your musical sensitivity, at the same time that you address the following ideas: If the piece is linked to a poem or program, how does the music change to reflect the changes in mood or ideas in the text? What musical techniques are used to dramatize the poem or program and bring it to life? How does the composer deal with the issue of form? How are the musical elements of melody, harmony, and rhythm treated differently than in the Mozarts example of absolute music of the Classical period studied? How do you perceive the difference between Romantic program music and Baroque program music such as Vivaldis Spring? Support your discussion pointing to other aspects such as the role of the cultural-historical context in which each work was created, and/or the role of the cultural context in which you have grown up and that has influenced your sensitivity as a listener.
