Renaissance

My Renaissance History quiz was 10 questions:



ID motets and madrigals (music samples)
ID the 5 parts of a mass
ID motets, madrigals by definition

My Advanced Band and Orchestra students earned an average of 79.4% while my Beginning Band and Orchestra students earned and average of 84.3%. This is not a big surprise since many of my beginning classes are GATE/EXCEL students. In hindsight...I should have included the Renaissance composers listed in the video.  In the future I will be more faithfully aligned to the video.




Here is the basic template (the answers/blanks are underlined) of the basic outline based on the introductory video.
