first impression, UGH
my brain shut down towards the end of the paper. couldn't tell what device was being used on the piano Grisabella the Glamour Cat in AOS#4(tremolo i'm guessing)
the african section was so very-very hard.
what is an idiophone, membranophone, chordophone and aerophone?
just googled it. and so wikipedia says:
Hornbostel-Sachs (or Sachs-Hornbostel) is a system of musical instrument classification devised by Erich Moritz von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs, and first published in the Zeitschrift für Ethnologie in 1914. An English translation was published in the Galpin Society Journal in 1961. It is the most widely used system for classifying musical instruments by ethnomusicologists and organologists (people who study musical instruments).
definitely not in the syllabus. click
here to find out more on this instrument classification.

it's by
BLUR- it's called
Song 2.It's just one of those exams when you walk out and begin to doubt that you put down anything correct on the paper. Hit or miss.
on a happier note,
BYE GCSE MUSIC! :D
I'm back to listening to music without bothering about instrumental techniques and devices.Labels: exams, music
