MUSIC EXTENSION – Musicology Elective
Low Band 4 Annotation – Sample 1
Title: Edgard Varèse: Ionisation
The candidate displays originality of thought in a well-defined hypothesis using challenging repertoire and sustaining the argument throughout. Valid conclusions are drawn through sophisticated discussion using appropriate musical terminology. There is evidence of extensive research that is well-integrated into the discussion. Musical quotes are wholly appropriate but the supporting musical observations sometimes become a little contrived (for example on page 10, line 3). A perceptive essay based upon independent thought.
