Section One: Choose an artist listed in the Music Reader. Please present a thoughtful look at the work of a musical artist. Contextualize your artist historically, musically, culturally, etc. Be careful not to regurgitate too much of what is already included in your textbook. Bio material should be kept relatively short and be a general synopsis on your part to simply contextualize the artist.

Section Two: Listen extensively to your artist's work and read more scholarly literature on your subject. Present a short musical analysis of a piece or two and/or engage with the point of view of literature on your subject, highlighting their contributions to music history and important aspects of their musical production.
