please watch the video of Copland’s Hoe Down using the provided link and write a musical description of the piece in approximately 400 words using the Materials of Music in your textbook as a guide. Below are several questions that I would like you to answer briefly. Of course, you can expand upon these questions as needed and, while I don’t expect you to know all of the answers, I do expect you to make educated guesses and, most importantly, write in your own words.

Please write in full sentences and write more creatively than just providing simple answers. Begin the essay with an introductory sentence or paragraph and finish with a concluding sentence or paragraph.

Submit your essay using the Assignment link below.

Melody

• Would you say the opening melody of this song uses conjunct or disjunct motion? Is this opening melody the only melody in the piece? If not, is it repeated anywhere else in the piece?

Rhythm

• Tap your foot to the basic pulse of the piece – although the pulse stays mostly the same throughout the piece, it is particularly clear at about 45 seconds into the piece in the bass line of the piano. Does this pulse seem to be based on a duple rhythmic pattern (patterns of 2 or 4) or a triple rhythmic pattern (patterns of 3)? You may find this difficult but give it your best shot. There is also a lot of syncopation in this piece. For example, from about 2:00-2:05 when the trumpet has a solo moment, can you hear what instrument(s) clearly plays off the beat? Can you find other examples of syncopation?

Harmony

• Would you classify the overall harmonies of the piece as consonant or dissonant? Can you explain why?

Texture

• Do you think the texture of the song is monophonic, homophonic, polyphonic, or some combination of the three? Using the descriptions in your textbook, explain your choice.

Dynamics

• Using the dynamics listed on p. 31 of your textbook, how would you describe the dynamics of the piece? Does the piece maintain one dynamic or does it change?

Form

• Is the form of the piece clear? There are several small sections to this piece, but is there an overall sense of structure? How are the terms repetition, contrast, and variation apparent in the piece? (see p. 26 in your textbook) For example, how do you hear these three terms used in the first 2:00 of the piece?

Instrumentation

• What type of ensemble is used for the performance? What instruments stand out to you as most prominent?

History (this will require a tiny amount of research – please acknowledge your sources and please use something other than wikipedia).

• When did Copland live? What were his birth and death years?
• During which musical period did he live?

To prepare

• Reflect on the phenomenon of interest and concepts you identified in the Week 2 Discussion. Based on insights you have gained this week, would you like to make any modifications to your phenomenon and/or concepts? If so, you may do so before posting to this Discussion.
• Although you will identify more than one concept for your research, select one primary concept on which to focus for this Discussion. Your concept should be one word or a very short phrase (e.g., “quality of life”).
• Review the literature to see how this concept is defined in various sources. Remember to look at literature across all disciplines in which this concept may be used. Also search for all known definitions of the word in an unabridged dictionary.
• As you do this, consider the following: 
  • Has the concept been developed directly from nursing or health care research or practice, or has it been borrowed or derived from another discipline?
  • To what degree is the concept abstract or concrete?
  • How suitable is this concept for your intended use?
• Formulate a definition of the concept that aligns with your intended research. (Your definition may continue to evolve as you complete your concept analysis for the Assignment introduced this week. In addition, you will likely make adjustments as you proceed through this course and/or later in this PhD program if you continue to address the concept.)

By Day 3 

Post your selected concept and provide a definition of it, as well as context to help your colleagues understand what you are addressing. Summarize at least one article that addresses the concept and discuss how the information presented relates to your own definition of the concept.

Write a 4-6-page analysis of a current problem or issue in health care, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications.

Introduction

In your health care career, you will be confronted with many problems that demand a solution. By using research skills, you can learn what others are doing and saying about similar problems. Then you can analyze the problem and the people and systems it affects. You can examine potential solutions and their ramifications. This assessment allows you to practice this approach with a real-world problem.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

• Competency 2: Apply scholarly information through critical thinking to solve problems in the field of health care.     
  • Analyze a health care problem or issue by describing the context, explaining why it is important and identifying populations affected by it.
  • Discuss potential solutions for a health care problem or issue and describe what would be required to implement a solution.
• Competency 3: Apply ethical principles and academic standards to the study of health care.     
  • Analyze the ethical implications if a potential solution to a health care problem or issue was implemented.
• Competency 4: Write for a specific audience, in appropriate tone and style, in accordance with Capella’s writing standards.
