AoS2 Shared Music

In AoS2 you study how musicians work together in different stylistic and cultural contexts, by exploring:

• how a solo part is supported and enhanced by an accompaniment in:

-- voice with single instrumental accompaniment

-- lead voice/instrument with ensemble

• how parts combine in ensembles

• the impact of large musical forces in choral singing.

 

 

 

 

Focus for Learning Candidates should explore the relationships and roles of voices and instruments as shown in:

• voice and accompaniment:

-- Romantic song (lieder)

-- Pop ballads.

• music contrasting one solo instrument with orchestra/band:

-- Classical concerto

-- Jazz.

• ensembles:

-- Indian classical music

-- Gamelan

-- Baroque and Classical chamber music.

• large vocal ensembles:

-- The great choral classics

-- African a capella singing.

Candidates should also study:

• the way in which performers learn their parts and have their music communicated, i.e. from notation or from following a leader in an improvisatory manner

• the contextual features that affect the way ensembles interact, including venues, available resources and the cultural environment. Candidates should be given the opportunity to learn
