Music Fundamentals A Balanced Approach

WORKBOOK: MODULE 9

NAME:

This is a reduction of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 from an orchestral piece to a few voices in the treble

clef. To help separate the voices (also called “parts”), the notes are stemmed upward or downward. For

example in the first line, the notes of the first voice representing the first violins are stemmed upward. Later

in measure 7, a second voice representing the second violins enters; here the notes are stemmed down.

What is the main motive of this piece? Bracket and label the motive the first time it appears.

8. “María Elena” (L. Barcelata)
   “...as falling rain is to a flower... so you are to me.”

Key: ________________________ (If in minor, identify the form.)
