Area of Study 4 Descriptive Music

Descriptive music from the Romantic period to the
present day. Music is a highly expressive medium and
candidates should explore how composers have used
music to convey stories, paint pictures and set scenes
through:
Programme Music (Symphonic music from 1820
onwards)
Film Music.
For each of the above styles you should develop
understanding of how composers use music to express:
A story, picture or scene
A mood or emotion
A drama or action.
1.Names of composers and how they have organised
sounds for descriptive purposes
2. How composers have used the musical elements
(tempo, pitch, dynamics, duration, texture and timbre)
3. How composers have used music devices (techniques
on instruments e.g. pizzicato, arco, muted, melisma;
composing techniques e.g. imitation, sequence, pedal,
ostinato, drone, riff)
4. How composers have used different tonalities (major,
minor, modal, pentatonic, atonal, chromatic)and structure
(Binary AB, Ternary ABA, Rondo ABACADA, Variations
A A1 A2 A3,
5. How composers have used music technology
(synthesised sounds, sequencer, panning, midi, reverb,
ecoh, sampler)
You should also understand the difference between
composing descriptive music (where the music has to
carry the meaning alone and the structure is in the hands
of the composer) and composing music to a film (where
the music has to complement the action and work within
a framework already set by the film makers).
Programme music:
Tchaikovsky: Overture Romeo and Juliet
Grieg: Peer Gynt
SaintSaens: Danse Macabre
Copland: Billy the Kid.
Film music:
Hans Zimmer: Pirates of the Caribbean,
Gladiator
John Barry: Out of Africa, Somewhere in Time
John Williams: Harry Potter, Superman
Ron Goodwin: 633 Squadron.

Creative Task
Quality Of Response
I have
composed
LEVEL 1: The response is simple and the musical materials are basic. Use of the stimulus
is not evident. Where appropriate, performed pieces may lack any sense of pulse or
identifiable rhythms. Any layered parts have no obvious relationship with each other,
rhythmically or harmonically. There is little sense of coherence or musical structure.
LEVEL 2: The response is simple and the stimulus is used. A small range of compositional
devices is applied with limited musical impact. There may be some identifiable ideas but
the piece is either over-dependent on repetition, or lacks a sense of direction. There are
occasional coherent passages and there is some understanding of the resource used.
There is a limited sense of structure.
LEVEL 3: The response is built around the stimulus. Compositional devices are used with
some success. Ideas make some musical sense, although the overall quality may be
inconsistent. The structure of the piece and the deployment of the resource are appropriate
to the musical materials.
LEVEL 4: The response uses the stimulus musically and is generally coherent. The ideas
used show some musical understanding. Compositional devices are applied in a craftsman
like way within an appropriate structure, although the piece may lack a sense of style. or
be inconsistent in this respect. The resource is used with some effectiveness.
LEVEL 5: The stimulus makes an important contribution to the character of the
composition. Musical ideas are developed effectively using a range of compositional
devices. The piece has a sense of style, with the resource well used. There is a well
planned structural framework.
LEVEL 6: The stimulus is used imaginatively and the piece has a strong sense of style.
Musical ideas contain individuality and are developed effectively throughout the piece. The
structure supports a good balance of unity and variety and there is very effective use of the
resource.
EXCEPTIONAL: A highly musical piece which shows exceptional flair. The piece exploits
the stimulus consistently and is effective and memorable. There is a clear sense of
personal style, supported by a strong structure. There is sophisticated use of the resource.

Creative Task
Quality of communication
I have
composed
LEVEL 1: The response conveys the basic intention with limited accuracy. Recorded outcomes have
little sense of pulse and, if layered, contain an inappropriate mixture of sounds. Intonation (where
relevant) is limited. Written outcomes contain errors in notation of rhythm, and in the numbering of
beats to a bar. Written outcomes cannot easily be understood by others.
LEVEL 2: The piece conveys the basic effect with some accuracy. Recorded outcomes may contain
significant hesitations, but it is possible to recognise the intention overall. Technical control and
intonation (where relevant) are only partly secure. Written outcomes are generally clear in pitch and
rhythm but may contain some errors.
LEVEL 3: The piece has accuracy of pitch and rhythm. Recorded outcomes maintain a tempo,
although, as appropriate, parts may be unbalanced and there may be some hesitations which disturb
the flow of the music. Technical control (including intonation where relevant) s adequate. Written
outcomes are clear in their communication of pitch and rhythm only.
LEVEL 4: Recorded outcomes have a sense of pitch and rhythm, maintaining a tempo although, as
appropriate, there may be hesitations which occasionally disturb the flow of the music. There is limited
attention to dynamics or articulation and a lack of a sense of metre. Technical control (including
intonation where relevant) is generally secure. Written outcomes may include a tempo marking, some
dynamics and articulation but these are sparse and unmusically placed.
LEVEL 5: Recorded outcomes convey the intention accurately and there is a range of elements in
addition to pitch and rhythm. There is a sense of metre and there is generally good technical control of
the resource. Computer generated recordings are mechanical, and written outcomes contain a range
of tempo, dynamic and articulation but some of these lack musical shaping.
LEVEL 6: Recorded outcomes show some stylistic understanding and contain some convincing
passages. Technical control is secure with good intonation and tone where appropriate. Written
outcomes contain markings of tempo, dynamics and articulation which make musical sense, although
there are a few passages where some of the details are either lacking or excessive.
LEVEL 7: The piece is communicated musically and stylishly. Recorded outcomes contain musical
shaping, articulation and dynamic shading all appropriate to the resource and style. The performance
is confident and there is very good technical control. Written outcomes clearly show how the piece is
to be performed and there are musically conceived dynamics and marks of articulation.

There are 3 exams in total: Basics, Socialisation, culture and Identity and the
pre-release research paper. In order to be prepared for these, you will need
to revise last years work and the work you have done this year. If you have
misplaced any of your old books, Mrs Duke or Mr Godwin can give you a
spare revision guide that you can use instead.
The topics you need to know are on the next page.
Visit the OCR website and look at the Sociology section for past papers and
mark schemes that you can use as part of your independent revision.
Use the traffic light self-assessment on the next page to help organise your
revision. Fill in the columns by putting in the date for the first time you do it.
Every time you revise a topic go back and assess yourself again. You will
soon see how much progress youre making.
Red = I feel nervous/worried. I need to ask for help/update notes/catchup/avoid panicking.
Amber = I feel quite confident. I need to brush up on my notes/check that I
understand/find out more.
Green = I feel confident about this topic. I must check my key points and use
my time to revise something else.
Throughout all the topics there is a theme about sociology today. Try and
keep up to date with current developments such as government cuts;
changes to GCSE exams etc.
