Edexcel Music GCSE Paper 3 Listening

No-one made a board aobut this paper so i thought i might aswell

For the first question on Area of study 2 was it minimalism or expressionism-ting?
I could have sworn it was minimalism

Overall it was quite ok though =D

No - if you got the genre wrong, they would carry forward the error and you would only lose 1 mark on that question.

hey!
my teacher taught me the wrong syllabus!
Not the revised one. I don't think he knew it changed.
I didnt join here until yesterday so I didnt know the syllabus had changed either.
Is there anything I can do at this point?

Lol yeh we can definitely discuss it now!, I found the exam very strange.

I was so usure about question 1 from A OS2 ... 19 marks for what you thought the genre was etc!

I put minimalim, but a lot of my mates got different answers :s-smilie:

Don't worry - I put Minimalism and my teacher siad that right. Overall, I thought the test was pretty hard. OK a few of my worries now...

AoS 1:

The instrument was a bassoon - playing a chaconne?
Was the cadence imperfect
Time sig - 4/4?
Was it Classical - Mozzart?

Was the voice soprano ( alot of my friends said alto)
Was the composer Purcell
Was it cello and harpsichord?

AoS 2:
Minimalism

How did you describe the instrument - I saiid string-like and shimmery

AoS 3:
Pitch i got BBABAG

For other piece i said club dance music
just listed all the effects i knew - couldn't hear them all

AoS 4:
siad it was the alap
sitar and tambura were playing (teacher said sarangi though)

African singing question was hard - call and response, iscimathiya, sung in harmonies??

said it was fusion of western classical (flute, violin)
and indian raga (sitar, tabla)

Any reassurance would be very nice!!
Think I got around the 80% mark. Is A* coursework and A listening test A* overall??

Thanks
