So happy that the torture of this course is over. I spent so much time stressing over Rag Desh and it didn't even come up. A part of me was so happy, another was livid that I spent all that time learning 3 different versions of the same song, figuring out which one had a Tabla, and the structures of the songs. "This one has a Jhor, but this one doesn't, oops!" It was hell. Every book said a different thing, and with musical keys, you can't tell which one is the accurate one. The CGP was riddled with mistakes, and I love CGP revision guides, so it took me so long to peel myself away. I was so happy writing an essay on Chopin though! What did you end up getting?
Oh Yiri is genius
Yeah if you've learnt your stuff, the exam should be a piece of cake, and it's so easy to just end up really enjoying the pieces instead of answering the questions because the pieces become so familiar :P Something's Coming was pretty good too
And Miles Davis
Although, I found it hard telling the difference between the alto and the tenor which is embarrassing because I'm a saxophonist
I used to always get those past paper questions wrong. Steve Reich live sounds awesome! But to think we had to learn 12 songs and be tested on 8 of them, how we did it I have absolutely no idea. I would never do it again because I didn't feel like it tested my musical ability enough, other than the composition/ensemble elements. Nevertheless, memories are memories
Good luck with your exam!
