Romantic Composer Sign Up

Call dibs on your choice of composer from the Romanticism section of the timeline of composers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_music). No doubling up!

This is the composer you will research (3 sources minimum) creating a handout and bibliography. You'll share your handout with the class going over the main points and play a selection or two of music you choose (by your composer, of course!). If you don't want to purchase a CD or download a song or two from itunes, check with your local library or even the school library to see if they can help you out. Also, many websites will have free clips or downloads, and you may be able to find performances of pieces on youtube.

Also, although I often scorn wikipedia for serious research, you should read through this section on Classical Music. It gives a great overview.
