CHOOSE one of the following:

● Take notes or draw pictures of how you feel during the different movements as you listen to the music (this will require you to pay attention to the feelings you get instead of the thoughts) It may help to print out the program notes and then you can just write or draw on those as you listen.

● Listen to an additional work by either or both of the composers. Look at the end of the chapter in Spiritual Lives to help you pick their more recognized and famous works. Did you like these composers works? Why or Why not? How does Opera make you feel?

● Write a personal narrative about how music came to be important to you, or what has made it so you do or don't like some types of music.
