N5 Music 2016

Hi! The answers to those are 1. French horn 2. Allegro 3. Sequence 4. Concerto

What were the options for 3 again? Sequence, pentatonic and what? I can't remember if I picked sequence or the third one

Also, for the question about the song "When I was five my brother stole my lollipop" I'm pretty certain the answer was bass and syllabic?

What was the options for that question I remember picking bass

For the two answer and explain it was 1. Jig and compound time 2. Latin American and use of percussion or you could specify castanets or drums
There was a bothy ballad and the answer following that was strophic.
The written question you needed to put 3/4 andante or adagio, v above bar 9, chord of f major, and just a descending sequence for the notes.

Thank goodness it's a jig my main pressure of nat 5 music was to tell the differemce between a jig and a reel and people in my year were saying and justifying why it was a reel Thanks for letting me know Also for the latin american one I mentioned the instruments but just to add something etra I said something about syncopation because that's usually in alot of latin music and samba do you think it's ok I said that?

You should be fine. The SQA tend to have a few optional answers for give the reason questions.

Thank you and what were the answers for the vocal section?

Two was bass and syllabic and the first was an aria.

Anyone going to be taking higher next year?

No I would if I could take 6 highers but I might just crash it in 6th year

It was a descant, which is to do with voices usually (the higher countermelody)
