DMA First Exаm–Spring 2025 Scоre Essаy Questiоns DIRECTIONS: Answer the questiоns аbout TWO of the three pieces below. Follow the directions listed here exactly. Failure to do so will result in not passing the exam. If you consulted sources in your research, please cite them in general by using author and/or title names. All essays should be at least 750 words long in total. SCORE ESSAY PIECE 1 (1.5 hours) Clement Janequin, Le cris de Paris (1530) What musical features and historical context define the Parisian chanson against its Italian counterpart the madrigal in the sixteenth century? Explain how the genre mirrors or departs from conventions of the Italian madrigal in the same period, as well as the role played by Pierre Attaignant and emerging print technologies and musical economies in France. Support your argument by making a detailed analysis of Clement Janequin’s Le cris de Paris, focusing specifically on aspects of the work’s melodic style, textural variations, structure, harmony, and text setting. How do these features show the Parisian chanson in contrast or comparison to the madrigal of the same period? Successful answers will synthesize and draw from evidence presented in the suggested scholarly materials. SCORE ESSAY PIECE 2 (1.5 hours) Arnold Schoenberg, String Quartet No. 2, movement 4: “Entrückung” Part I Based on your analysis and readings, discuss the significance of Schoenberg's use of the soprano voice in the fourth movement of his Second String Quartet, Op. 10. How does this departure from the traditional string quartet medium contribute to the overall expressive content of the work? What is the subject of the text, and how might it relate to Schoenberg’s life and musical direction at the time? Part II Analyze the harmonic language and structural organization of the fourth movement of Schoenberg's Second String Quartet, Op. 10. Specifically, discuss how the composer's use of extended tonality, chromatic saturation, and formal experimentation challenge the conventions of the string quartet genre. You may wish to focus on the use of motives (noting particular sets or intervals), how Schoenberg avoids tonal relationships (e.g., tonic-dominant), and how the voice and string quartet interact musically. SCORE ESSAY PIECE 3 (1.5 hours) Dmitri Shostakovich, Prelude in D-flat Major, op. 87 Part I According to Shostakovich, the Prelude is in D-flat major. Discuss at least three (3) ways Shostakovich highlights or reinforces D-flat major tonality and three (3) ways that the Prelude seems to resist or reject D-flat major tonality. Cite specific measure numbers. Part II The Prelude exhibits many characteristics of a waltz. Describe two (2) such characteristics, then speculate as to why Shostakovich—famous for his biting irony—might have decided to evoke a waltz in a piece composed in the 1950s.
