Music Memory
The focus of the Music Memory contest is an in-depth study of fine pieces of
music literature taken from a wide spectrum of music genres to expose students
to great composers, their lives and their music. In the course of preparing for
the contest, students should be given the opportunity to describe and analyze
the music, relate the music to history, to society and to culture, and to
evaluate musical performance.
Students will listen to approximately 20 seconds of up to 20 musical
selections and identify the name of the major work, selection and the name of
the composer.
To receive full credit for an answer, all information about the music
selection must be complete as shown on the official list. Spelling and
punctuation are considered in the grading of this contest.
