It's easy to change the compositions to different area of study's, but I would think it's too late as they have all been sent off for moderation, I think. The best you can do is hope for the best, maybe take up this issue with the headmaster.

I put serialism for that question on AOS2!

I'm about 75% sure that it wasn't expressionism

Surely there was tone row and everything like that?

And drpetergriffin, IT'S HELL ON EARTH!!

No, i think in the thread it was confirmed that the first question of area of study 2 was minimalism. But to be honest, everyone is unsure! Though apparently it was John Adam's piece or something... so that basically seals the deal

no it was minimalism, the piece still had some semblance of a key

If it was serialism, it would've sounded seriously bad and wrong

Melissma means adding expression to the words - not sure if its right tho

Melisma means when you sing one syllable of a word with lots and lots of notes. But you were right either way, it was full of melismas. :smile:

lol, thanks so much for this thread. I managed to confirm some things even though all the questions that i was iffy about i got wrong. -.- time to put faith in low grade boundaries.. XD

I put 'repetition' 'polyrhythms' 'cyclic structure' for african music (among others xD) is that acceptable?

If it was a piece of African drumming it would've been right...but because it was singing it's slightly different!

You might get marks for repetition and cyclic structure...but I don't think there were any polyrhythms?
