I've just added in the final exam grades to D2L. You'll notice that the number is different from the one you saw earlier - see the gradebook in D2L for the explanation.
I was incorrect when I stated that the listening would be scored by the computer as a zero - it turns out the computer gave you all 36 points for the listening. This means that your score likely went DOWN after I graded the listening.
The scores are all in the D2L gradebook. If you want to know what your grade for the class will be, download the spreadsheet from D2L and type in your scores. The spreadsheet will tell you!
LISTENING
Some of the listening comments were quite intelligent. Others showed a depressing lack of thought. I was looking for 3 correct statements - each got you 3 points. That's why I mentioned that adding more comments rather than fewer would be a good idea.
Listening #1: "The Meal"
20th C. Yes, a piece of mine created using my youngest son's sounds when he was 4 months old, plus a spoon stirring some sweet tea, plus a burp mangled in a variety of ways to create the drum sounds.
Yes, ALL the drum sounds came from the burp you hear at the end.
Listening #2: Solfigietto Jam
EARLY Classical / Jazz.
From my album Accessible Depth.
Original piece by CPE Bach - then transmogrified into jazz in the studio. CPE was JS Bach's son, and this was written EARLY in the Classical period, so it really has a lot of Baroque characteristics, as several of you commented.
Listening #3: Aleatoric Spring 2013
This was recorded in class a few weeks ago. Shame on you, those who didn't recognize it!
20th C - because of when it was "written", the use of noise as a primary element, the use of chance operations.....
Listening #4: Minimalism Spring 2013
ANOTHER one recorded in class! A minimal amount of musical material. most annoying comments on the test: those referring to "the melody, so that makes it Romantic". THERE WAS NO MELODY!
20th C.
