1 | This spreadsheet is the collaborative work of music theorists from around the world. Anyone can contribute! Click here to submit an example. For more information about our group, visit composersofcolor.hcommons.org. INSTRUCTIONS -- The goal is to assemble a repository of examples by composers of color for use in the theory and aural skills curriculum. Feel free to add examples under any of the existing topics, or to add other relevant topics wherever you see fit. Examples from popular, vernacular, world, and other repertoires welcome; scores are not necessary! Notes are appreciated -- good notes will identify whether an example is straightforward (i.e. teach on day one) or more complicated (i.e. good for a homework assignment), and whether a piece would be useful for whole class discussion (i.e. "this piece uses many inversions of V7 and has a transparent texture that would make it accessible for extended analysis in a theory 1 class; discussion might address the use of cadential six-four in the expansion of the consequent"). If a PD score is not available, please provide a worldcat link to a published edition if possible. PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL TOPICS ARE IN SEPARATE SHEETS (SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE) | 329 examples so far! | |||||||||||

1 | INSTRUCTIONS -- The goal here is to assemble a repository of examples by composers of color for use in the theory and aural skills curriculum. Feel free to add examples under any of the existing topics, or to add other relevant topics wherever you see fit. Notes are appreciated -- good notes will identify whether an example is straightforward (i.e. teach on day one) or more complicated (i.e. good for a homework assignment), and whether a piece would be useful for whole class discussion (i.e. "this piece uses many inversions of V7 and has a transparent texture that would make it accessible for extended analysis in a theory 1 class; discussion might address the use of cadential six-four in the expansion of the consequent"). If a PD score is not available, please provide a worldcat link to a published edition if possible. PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL TOPICS ARE IN SEPARATE SHEETS (SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE) | 10 examples so far! | ||||||||||

Though the song is in G, the clausala vera occurs m. 30 and emphasizes B minor with a M3 expanding out to an octave. I find this useful for rhythmic reduction and cross-style compare/contrast exercises, like on a unit exam. | |||

1 | INSTRUCTIONS -- The goal here is to assemble a repository of examples by composers of color for use in the theory and aural skills curriculum. Feel free to add examples under any of the existing topics, or to add other relevant topics wherever you see fit. Notes are appreciated -- good notes will identify whether an example is straightforward (i.e. teach on day one) or more complicated (i.e. good for a homework assignment), and whether a piece would be useful for whole class discussion (i.e. "this piece uses many inversions of V7 and has a transparent texture that would make it accessible for extended analysis in a theory 1 class; discussion might address the use of cadential six-four in the expansion of the consequent"). If a PD score is not available, please provide a worldcat link to a published edition if possible. PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL TOPICS ARE IN SEPARATE SHEETS (SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE) | 32 examples so far! | ||||||||||

4 | Eugène Dédé | Chiffonette | 1896 | Trio | Creole | https://imslp.org/wiki/Chiffonnette%2C_Op.236_(D%C3%A9d%C3%A9%2C_Eug%C3%A8ne) | similar texture to Chopin mazurkas; would be accessible | ||||
5 | Scott Joplin | Augustan Club Waltz | 1901 | throughout | African-American | https://imslp.org/wiki/Augustan_Club_Waltz_(Joplin%2C_Scott) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haQLEMN3WX8 | very clear block harmonies in LH and obvious figuration in eighth notes in right hand, with different figuration issues for each section; would work well to do one section together in class and assign another as homework; includes PTs, NTs CNTs, CPTs, chordal arpeggiations, double neighbors, etc. | |||
6 | Samuel Coleridge-Taylor | "She Sat and Sang Alway" from Six Sorrow Songs, Op. 57, no. 4 | 1906 | throughout | Afro-European | https://imslp.org/wiki/6_Sorrow_Songs%2C_Op.57_(Coleridge-Taylor%2C_Samuel) | https://musescore.com/openscore-lieder-corpus/coleridge-taylor-samuel-6-sorrow-songs-op-57-no-6-too-late-for-love | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjvmU-joA4I | nice example of many NCT types, and they get trickier throughout the song. Opens with tonic pedal and lots of of complete and incomplete neighbors and passing tones; very clear appogiatura in m. 18, chromatic passing tone in m. 19, and inner voice suspension in m. 21.

1 | INSTRUCTIONS -- The goal here is to assemble a repository of examples by composers of color for use in the theory and aural skills curriculum. Feel free to add examples under any of the existing topics, or to add other relevant topics wherever you see fit. Notes are appreciated -- good notes will identify whether an example is straightforward (i.e. teach on day one) or more complicated (i.e. good for a homework assignment), and whether a piece would be useful for whole class discussion (i.e. "this piece uses many inversions of V7 and has a transparent texture that would make it accessible for extended analysis in a theory 1 class; discussion might address the use of cadential six-four in the expansion of the consequent"). If a PD score is not available, please provide a worldcat link to a published edition if possible.

1 | INSTRUCTIONS -- The goal here is to assemble a repository of examples by composers of color for use in the theory and aural skills curriculum. Feel free to add examples under any of the existing topics, or to add other relevant topics wherever you see fit. Notes are appreciated -- good notes will identify whether an example is straightforward (i.e. teach on day one) or more complicated (i.e. good for a homework assignment), and whether a piece would be useful for whole class discussion (i.e. "this piece uses many inversions of V7 and has a transparent texture that would make it accessible for extended analysis in a theory 1 class; discussion might address the use of cadential six-four in the expansion of the consequent"). If a PD score is not available, please provide a worldcat link to a published edition if possible. PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL TOPICS ARE IN SEPARATE SHEETS (SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE) | 87 examples so far! | |||||||||||||||||||||||

First a is 4mm ending with C:PAC; second a = 6 mm. Extension is in middle of phrase, where it goes harmonically off track for a measure before a circle of fifths brings us back to clear PAC in C. Rhythmic fill brings us to third repeat of the a-phrase, which is 10 measures! This third phrase has more extensive harmonic adventures, including mixture (le), quintal chord, pedal on dominant with mixed PD over it to cadential six-four, culminating in Fr.+6-V7-I flourish. Along with this growth in harmonic excitement is a concomitant growth in range and rhythmic activity across the three phrases.

1 | INSTRUCTIONS -- The goal here is to assemble a repository of examples by composers of color for use in the theory and aural skills curriculum. Feel free to add examples under any of the existing topics, or to add other relevant topics wherever you see fit. Notes are appreciated -- good notes will identify whether an example is straightforward (i.e. teach on day one) or more complicated (i.e. good for a homework assignment), and whether a piece would be useful for whole class discussion (i.e. "this piece uses many inversions of V7 and has a transparent texture that would make it accessible for extended analysis in a theory 1 class; discussion might address the use of cadential six-four in the expansion of the consequent"). If a PD score is not available, please provide a worldcat link to a published edition if possible. PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL TOPICS ARE IN SEPARATE SHEETS (SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE) | |||||||||||

37 | Minimalism | -- | Julius Eastman | "Stay On It" | 1973 | throughout | Black, LGBTQ+ | https://issuu.com/scoresondemand/docs/stay_on_it_aws_57872 | https://youtu.be/e_YauvN9UE4 | There is also an existing transcription of a realization by Mary Jane Leach of ThingNY's 2005 recording. Dead link on her site here: http://www.mjleach.com/EastmanScores.htm but there are copies floating around. I'm unsure of the legal status of this transcription. | The issuu score is a performance transcription made by the group Alarm Will Sound based on extant video and recordings of Eastman's ensembles performing the work. This piece makes an excellent example for questioning the performance tradition of a work that only exists in oral transmission, and for which no original parts exist (similar issues exist for pieces such as Reich's Music For 18 Musicians, however, Reich eventually approved a performance score during his lifetime. Eastman never was able to -- questioning why Reich had this opportunity is another great moment to talk about white privilege and access to resources in new music circles). A fantastic book chapter on the subject of how to perform a work that only exists via memory, audio and video recordings is Matthew Mendez, "'That Piece Does Not Exist Without Julius': Still Staying on Stay On It," in Gay Guerrilla: Julius Eastman and His Music, ed. Renée Levine Packer and Mary Jane Leach,151-78 (Rochester, NY: Boydell & Brewer, 2015). | |

1 | This page highlights examples (found throughout this database) that have been marked as good ear training examples. Please refer to the other tabs, our humanities commons page, etc. for more details. They're divided into melody/harmony vs. rhythm/meter topics, and organized loosely according to difficulty level (sample first-year topics: diatonic harmony, diatonic modulation, modal mixture, simple and compound meter, eighth-note syncopation; sample second-year topics: chromatic harmony, chromatic figuration, mixed meters, sixteenth-note syncopation, collections, atonal topics, etc.) | 45 examples so far! | ||||||||||
2 | Type of Example | Difficulty Level | Composer (include bio link) | Title | Date | Example Measure/Timing | Identity (gender, race, LGBTQ+, disability, etc.) | Score Link | Engraving Link | Recording Link | Notes | Related scholarship (whether including analysis or otherwise) |
3 | Harmomy and Melody Topics | First-Year | Undine Smith Moore | Come Down Angels | 1978 | throughout | African American, Woman | great for aural skills classes: melody arpeggiates I and V7 (well, really viiØ7) throughout; good for listening and analysis too though there is a tonic pedal under much of the dominant, but good for hearing the difference between prolongational and cadential dominants | ||||
4 | Francis Johnson | Victoria Gallop | 1839? | throughout | African American | https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/632405/hfin | https://imslp.org/wiki/Victoria_Gallop_(Johnson%2C_Francis) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD7_y0ucv9U | exclusively I and V; suitable for harmonic dictation for first semester students | |||
5 | Isaac Hazzard | Amanda, from Terpsichore | 1836 | C section | African-American | at the LOC: https://www.loc.gov/resource/sm1836.010710.0?st=gallery also available for purchase (or in your library): http://www.amaranthpublishing.com/AfricanAmericanComposers.html | good for listening for I and V | |||||
6 | Scott Joplin | Combination March | 1896 | throughout | African-American | https://imslp.org/wiki/Combination_March_(Joplin%2C_Scott) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXYMyBJwzz0 | good exercsize for hearing and/or analyzing T, PD, and D functions; class discussion might include changing distribution of harmonies between each section, changing harmonic rhythm, etc., rhetorical effect of departing from the straightforward harmonies at the beginning of each section to the more complex ones later on | ||||
7 | Isaac Hazzard | Henrietta, from Terpsichore | 1836 | entire piece | African-American | at the LOC: https://www.loc.gov/resource/sm1836.010710.0?st=gallery also available for purchase (or in your library): http://www.amaranthpublishing.com/AfricanAmericanComposers.html | good for listening to T, D, and PD function, though with weak bass motion; possible assigment -- "imagine you are the bass player and you're meant to improvise a bass line based on this melody; fill in the chord roots" (improvised or prepared) | |||||
8 | Harry T. Burleigh | "Till I Wake" from Five Songs of Laurence Hope | 1915 | mm. 7–17 | Black | https://imslp.org/wiki/5_Songs_of_Laurence_Hope_(Burleigh%2C_Harry_Thacker) | https://musescore.com/user/27638568/sets/5104071 | excellent bass line/harmonic dictation for inversions of V7 (i-V65-i-V43-i6-V43-i6-V42-i6) | ||||

(opens discussion to aspects like instrumental techniques, relationship to dance, etc. | |||||
10 | Scott Joplin | Augustan Club Waltz | 1901 | throughout | African-American | https://imslp.org/wiki/Augustan_Club_Waltz_(Joplin%2C_Scott) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haQLEMN3WX8 | good for listening to and analyzing T, PD, and D; also the possibility of a more subtle discussion of ii6 vs. IV (mm. 37ff.) | ||||
11 | Lin-Manuel Miranda and Opetiaia Foa'i | We Know the Way (from Moana) | 2016 | throughout | Puerto Rican American / Pacific Islander | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubZrAmRxy_M | great listening exercise for introducing T, PD, D functions. Also a good example to discuss colonialism since these functions are being used to represent the voices of Pacific islanders who clearly would not have used Western harmonic functions given the context depicted in the film. Rich potential for discussion of ideology, power, and musical structure. | |||||
12 | Florence Price | Ticklin' Toes | 1933 | throughout | African American, Woman | https://imslp.org/wiki/Ticklin'_Toes_(Price%2C_Florence) | clear descending mostly diatonc bass line, clear and exposed in the bass clef (descent also varies each phrase); would be good bass line dictation for aural skills | |||||

Vivian Taylor | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6fQctPhHwQ | second page -- duet between voice and piano (also a good duet for first-semester aural skills) | ||||
14 | Betty Jackson King | In the Springtime | 1976 | m. 33 | African American, Woman | in Art Songs and Spirituals by African American Women Composers, ed. Vivian Taylor | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tXwnhS5djM | tonic and dominant arpeggiation but otherwise mostly stepwise diatonic melody | ||||

16 | Samuel Coleridge-Taylor | "A Tale," Hiawathan Sketches, Op. 16, no. 1 | 1896 | mm. 3–16 | Afro-European | https://imslp.org/wiki/Hiawathan_Sketches%2C_Op.16_(Coleridge-Taylor%2C_Samuel) | tricky but tuneful minor-mode melody; totally diatonic but with some tricky leaps, as well as lots of leaps to ^4 and ^6 | |||||
17 | Samuel Coleridge-Taylor | "A Song," Hiawathan Sketches, Op. 16, no. 2 | 1896 | A section | Afro-European | https://imslp.org/wiki/Hiawathan_Sketches%2C_Op.16_(Coleridge-Taylor%2C_Samuel) | nice minor-mode sight singing example with skips to ^6 (opportunity to talk about exoticism here) | |||||
18 | Samuel Coleridge-Taylor | African Dances, Op. 58, no. 2 | 1904 | mm. 13ff. | Afro-European | https://imslp.org/wiki/4_African_Dances%2C_Op.58_(Coleridge-Taylor%2C_Samuel) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5Kl3jRWmQU | terrific for introducing fi (#4) (used as an incomplete CLN); see also lots of CLNs after m. 37; also great practice for eighth note triplets vs. straight eighths and sixteenths | ||||
19 | R. Nathaniel Dett | Cinnamon Grove, mvt. ii (Adagio Cantabile) | 1923 | entire piece | Black Canadian-American | https://imslp.org/wiki/Cinnamon_Grove_(Dett%2C_Robert_Nathaniel) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7_S0CL51HA | Lovely singable tune; melody is diatonic for most of the movement (with lush chromatic harmonization), final few phrases add b6 and chromatic passing tones; nice to make the transition to chromaticism | ||||
20 | Isaac Hazzard | Susana, from Terpsichore | 1836 | throughout | African-American | at the LOC: https://www.loc.gov/resource/sm1836.010710.0?st=gallery also available for purchase (or in your library): http://www.amaranthpublishing.com/AfricanAmericanComposers.html | singable chromatic figuration throughout, combined with large leaps (ascending sixths and octaves); students seeking more of a challenge could focus on the B section, which includes descending seventh leaps (great opportunities in this melody to teach octave displacement as a sight-singing strategy); also a good example for listening for T and D, and for inversions | |||||
21 | R. Nathaniel Dett | Magnolias (from Magnolia Suite) | 1912 | throughout | Black Canadian-American | A section (mm. 1–16) is a clear parallel period (HC-PAC) with lots of rich, complicated harmony and beautiful appogiaturas; also singable and would be a good singing or dictation example for an intermediate-level aural skills class | ||||||

23 | Samuel Coleridge-Taylor | African Dances, Op. 58, no. 2 | 1904 | entire piece | Afro-European | https://imslp.org/wiki/4_African_Dances%2C_Op.58_(Coleridge-Taylor%2C_Samuel) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5Kl3jRWmQU | nice examples of chromatic lower neighbors throughout (and with clear chordal harmony in piano for context); several excellent passages for an aural skills class | ||||
24 | Julia Perry | How Beautiful are the Feet | 1954 | mm. 13–32, 53–56 | African-American, Woman | https://hcommons.org/groups/julia-perry-working-group/documents/?page=1 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO6En6TGjEY | modal mixture: diatonic melody in CM followed by clear, accessible mixture in the B section; would be a great example for an aural skills class | ||||

26 | Second-Year | Florence Price | "Night" | 1946 | throughout | African-American, Woman | non-PD: http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1027679735 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik9pq_BOBlA | harmonically rich and complex; great singing example for chromatic melodies in aural skills; suitable for dictation | |||

28 | Dolores White | Las Tarantulas (cello and piano) | 1992 | throughout | African American, Woman | in Black Women Composers: Twentieth Century Music for Piano and Strings | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GKqeMiCZuk | abundant chromatic passing tones; would make a challenging aural skills example | ||||
29 | Chiquinha Gonzaga | Sospiro | ca. 1881 | throughout | Brazilian, Woman | https://imslp.org/wiki/Sospiro_(Gonzaga%2C_Chiquinha) | https://imslp.org/wiki/Sospiro_(Gonzaga%2C_Chiquinha) | tango -- tons of incomplete chromatic lower neighbors (especially #4-5) -- a brutal (but productive) exercise for aural skills! | ||||

32 | William Grant Still | Poème (from Songs of Separation) | 1949 | mm. 8–13 (most of the song) | African-American | non-PD; available in your library | short song; plays with contrast between diatonic and octatonic collections; clearly audible and a great teaching example; would be excellent for an aural skills class (students could learn to sing the whole melody a cappella, and could also work on singing the upper voice in the piano in mm. 8–13 (octatonic scale)) | |||||
33 | Undine Smith Moore | Is There Anybody Here that Loves my Jesus | 1981 | mm. 5–12 (and throughout) | Woman, African-American | non-PD, available in Anthology of Art Songs by Black American Composers | much of the melody is pentatonic; would be a good singing example for aural skills students as well; possible discussion topic is how shift to diatonicism for the verse (at m. 17) signals shift towards a more concert idiom (new pianistic texture and harmonization) | |||||

39 | Antonio Carlos Jobim | One Note Samba | 1960 | throughout | Brazilian | in most fake books | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rzNLXxo01Q | syncopated eighth notes; nice for ear training because pitch is not an issue; also a great ear training example because many recordings treat the rhythms flexibly (can use as starting point for discussion about prescriptive vs. descriptive notation, or for an "error detection" exercise) | ||||

47 | Florence Price | Song to the Dark Virgin | 1941 | throughout | African American, Woman | in Art Songs and Spirituals by African American Women Composers, ed. Vivian Taylor | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9qTZUN520c | 3 against 4 throughout (piano has sixteenth notes and voice has frequent eighth note triplets alternating with straight eighth notes and occasional dotted eighth-sixteenth pairs); would be a good rhythm excercise for aural skills (clap piano rhythm and speak or sing melody) |
