For Tuesday, March 5

Bring Karpinski anthologies to class tomorrow. We will begin the class with some sight-singing practice in advance of Thursday’s assessments.

Also, if you have not successfully assessed major and minor basso continuo realizations, compose and practice those (or whichever one is remaining) with a view toward assessing on Monday. Remember to perform at least an uninterpreted functional bass analysis of the bass line before doing the voice-leading, and perform an interpreted functional bass before assessing it.

If you have already successfully assessed basso continuo realizations, read/watch the resource on melodic keyboard-style voice leading: melodic keyboard-style schemata, demo video. Bring a completed melodic keyboard-style realization of any of the figured bass lines we have used in class so far (I will be adding more to the original four bass lines on Monday).

Everyone should come to class with either the remainder of their basso continuo realizations, one melodic keyboard-style attempt, or both.
