“”Classical Music; Early Abolitionist Art and Literature”” Please respond to one (1) of the following, using sources under the Explore heading as the basis of your response: Listen
to one (1) composition (for a symphony) by Haydn or Mozart, either at
the Websites below or in this week’s Music Folder. Identify the work
that you have chosen, and describe the way in which the composition
expresses the specific qualities of the Classical music style. Use the
key terms from the textbook that are related to that particular music
style, and explain what you like or admire about the work. Compare it to
a specific modern musical work for which you might use the term
“”classic”” or “”classical””. Explain
whether you think an autobiographical or fictional account by a slave
(such as Phillis Wheatley and Olaudah Equiano) is more persuasive than a
biographical or fictional account by a white author (such as John
Gabriel Stedman or Aphra Behn). Before
you present your opinion, concretely refer to the autobiographical
works (passages) that you actually read. Summarize them briefly, and use
concrete examples from the text to explain what makes those works more
persuasive. Explain
whether you believe the representations of slavery in the visual arts
(such as William Blakes illustrations, William Hackwoods cameo, or
John Singleton Copleys painting) were more compelling and convincing of
the injustices of slavery than the literary representations already
mentioned. When you discuss the visual art, carefully describe what you
see on each concrete painting/picture that you consider. Identify the literary or art form in modern times that you think is most effective at depicting injustice.
