While you're all busy studying for the exams, want you to look at this:

Lord of the Rings. The Classics of the future. If you can't appreciate something like this, you don't know what it means to be a musician. Listen to how the music blends together, how the different voices build upon each other and intertwine in perfect harmony. Observe how the musicians move with the music, how they let it flow through them, and how they enjoy and savour every note of it.

And while you're listening, answer these:

1) What is the mood of this piece?
2) What key is it in? Is it in the same key always? Why choose that key?

And the bonus:

What is the point of this piece?

Answer them well, but make sure it's not too long (2-3 lines will do). Answer the bonus correctly, on the dot, and you'll get something from me. (Yes, there is a fixed answer, and no, you won't find it anywhere but in my head, and no, I'm not telling anyone.)

Answer by the end of the term, under separate posts.
