You are a composer and have been asked to provide a theme song for a television show. The show’s producers require a theme song with three variations that can be used throughout the season. A variation is a version of the original theme song in which musical elements have been changed to affect the mood or style. Once you have composed the theme song and three variations, the producer has asked that you perform each one using your voice or the instrument of your choice. The producer is interested in your use of different musical elements. You will have time to practice before you perform. You should perform the theme song and variations without noticeable interruptions. You will have two chances to perform the theme song and three variations; your teacher will record both performances. The producer also requires that you provide an explanation of the changes that you made to the musical elements in order to create each variation. Your Task First, create your theme song and three variations— The producer explains that you must meet the following requirements when creating your theme song and three variations: Compose an original theme song or choose a theme song that you know. Identify how the theme will be performed (voice or type of instrument). Choose the appropriate clef (treble clef, bass clef, alto clef) for your voice or the instrument. Notate the theme and variations on staff paper: Choose a key signature. Choose a time signature. Use the correct number of beats in each measure. Demonstrate correct bar line placement. Notate four compositions of at least 8 measures each (one for the theme and one for each of the three variations). Use each of the following musical elements in your theme song and three variations: rhythm dynamics
