As discussed in class:
(1) Please finish up your short preludes, if you haven't done so already. I've seen preludes from most of you, and good work!
(2) Write a melody. We will discuss more about melody next class, so don't worry about the melody . . . just try to write one! Remember to consider melodic contour (the shape of the melody), and rhythmic interest (try adding syncopations and a variety of note lengths).
(3) If you have time, take your melody and compose a short passage that sets the melody in one of the textures discussed in the pdf (see the previous post for the download link). You may choose any texture you like, but I recommend one of the following three: (i) chordal texture, (ii) homophonic texture (think melody and accompaniment), or (iii) monophonic texture with decorations and embellishments.
