2. Musicology Activity - Movt 4: The Doppelgänger
Create a google doc. Name the doc, "Studentname_Doppelganger". Save the file under the class google drive. Copy - paste these questions into the doc, complete the questions and submit the file once you have finished.
-
Listen to the entire movement again, making annotations on the score of interesting musical features you hear.
-
List the instrumentation used in this movement. Describe the roles of each instrumental family/solo instrument and at what bar/section they switch roles.
eg. strings - provide harmonic support until bar 33 where the clarinets are playing short interjections between the melody -
Note the "plus sign" on top of the horns at Rehearsal Mark L (bar 246). What does this notation mean, and which instrument are the horns responding to?
List reasons why Vine might choose to use this specific effect here. -
Describe the interactions between the solo trombone and the orchestra. How does it reflect the title, "The Doppelgänger"?
-
At what point does the texture completely change from dense to sparse? Which instrument marks this change?
-
Describe the mood from 15:18 to the end of the movement. How does this section provide both UNITY and CONTRAST with the entire movement?
