AP Theory Assignment that is due on Thursday, Feb. 18
Workbook pages 145-147. Please do everything and following the instructions carefully.
For section I. Setting melodic fragments - make sure that you determine what type of cadence it is first and then proceed by following the steps that we talked about and are laid out in the textbook.
For sections II - Cadences with figured bass - Read the Realizing Figured Bass section in the textbook. Use the guidelines that are listed in the teal box on pages 246 and 247. Hint - the 8 in the first chord of the first one means that the tenor note should be an octave above the bass. Suspensions are usually listed as two numbers or a number and symbol with a dash between them. (9-8 or 4-#)
For the Writing Exercises, follow the procedure that we talked about in class and that is detailed in the instructions. Please use the hints and advice that are given in the instructions for each exercise. [...]

Just a reminder about rehearsal tonight from 5-7. We will finalize soloists for Walls Fall Down and Talk to Me. Some of you were missing purple from your uniforms last night, make sure you have everything you need for the concert Thursday.
Homework for Thursday, Feb. 4
Workbook pages 137 and 138.
II. Folk melody harmonization - Do both A & B
Analysis I. Brief Analysis - Do A only.
For those that did complete A. & B. on the top of page 137, here are the directions
Write the requested basic phrase progressions below. Begin by filling in the bass line as specified by the Roman numerals, then compose the SAT parts. Plan your setting to include some passing tones, neighboring tones, suspensions, retardations, and anticipations. When a chord is repeated, you may change the voicing of the upper three parts to incorporate consonant skips that may be filled in with passing tones. You may also include single consonant skips, but for this exercise do not use arpeggiation.
Label each embellishing tone in your setting, using the abbreviations described above. Strive for eighth-note motion in at least one part within each beat.
