MUS100-Johnston test #1 study sheet

Test #1 is 100 points, multiple choice and true/false, with 5 listening examples.

Reading: Chapters 1-10 including the terms at end of each chapter.

The tests are multiple choice and true/false except for the listening which is matching. For the most part, I will take the questions from the McGraw-Hill test study questions found on <http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0073122130/student_view0/chapter1/multiple_choice_quiz.html>.

+LISTENING

Musical examples are listed on page xxiv. Be careful not to confuse "example" numbers with "CD track" numbers. See the inside of the front and back book covers for track numbers, and the page in your text to follow the examples. For Trepak (Russian Dance), go to page 14 in your book, and CD 1 track 2 to listen!!

To identify what you hear, you will choose from the following lists.

Remember that for the periods, we only answer from the periods we are currently studying. For for Test #1 those would be Middle Ages (Medieval) and Renaissance ONLY.

This is the actual listening test! I will play 5 pieces, a minute from each piece (could be the center or end of the piece). Then you will identify the pieces giving the title, composer, and period for each.

Titles:

a.	Sumer is Icumen In
b.	Queen Elisabeth Galliard	
c.	As Vesta Was from Latmos Hill Descending
d.	Alleluia: "Pascha nostrm"
e.	"Gloria" from the Missa Notre Dame
a.	Agnus Dei (Pope Marcellus Mass)

Composers:

a.	Gesualdo
b.	Anonymous
c.	Machaut
d.	Weelkes
e.	Josquin
a.	Dowland
b.	Palestrina
c.	Gregorian Chant

Periods:

a.	Middle Ages (Medieval)
b.	Renaissance
c.	Baroque
d.	Classical
e.	Romantic

Additional study tips:

I suggest that you first read the text carefully, paying attention to each heading and the terms. Do the listing as you meet the pieces in the text.

Then go to the class web page and click on the study guides. Skip the terms and go to the bottom. At the bottom you will find the actual listening test. Study those pieces - listen and learn the name, composer's name, and period of each piece. ONLY PIECES FROM THE PERIODS WE ARE CURRENTLY STUDYING WILL BE ON EACH TEST! For for Test #1 those would be Middle Ages (Medieval) and Renaissance ONLY. Use 3"x5" cards, putting the name of a piece on one side, and the composer and period on the other. Memorize this part.

Then click on the McGraw-Hill test bank and try to answer the test questions for each chapter. The tests will all be multiple choice / true-false, and will come from those questions!

Do a little each day and try to get yourself into a routine.

Good luck!
