Create a playlist of 6 to 9 musical works.

Organize your selections under a theme such as “Music for Motivation” or “Cross-Country Playlist.” Be as creative as you like.

Include the following:

2 or 3 works of popular music, such as rock, pop, country, dance, or hip-hop
2 or 3 works of medieval or classical music; selections may include cantatas, oratorio, fugues, and so forth
2 or 3 works from other musical forms such as opera, jazz, or folk music

Write a 350- to 700-word summary of your playlist which discusses how the formal and technical qualities of music affect you. In other words, how does music create a certain type of mood, and is it successful in prompting a response from you, emotional or otherwise? Also, explain how the artists and music on your playlist use different techniques to communicate ideas. Use at least 5 to 7 vocabulary terms from the text in your discussion which may include but are not limited to the following:

Form
Composition
Call and response
Fusion
Looping
Sound
