Word Assignment

Here is the poster that you are to duplicate.  Do the best you can using Word only, good Luck.

Music Composition and Technology

In keeping with the sports music assignment,  think of a current sports theme that borrows music from other traditional sources.  I can think of one national theme, and one local theme that re-purposes the music from its original form to fit the needs of a sport theme presentation.

Why do you think music directors would re-purpose music as sport theme presentations?  Can you give me an example of this?

Email me by end of the day.
