Question 23 • Music Appreciation: The Enjoyment of Listening (IS)

Samuel wants to compose a piece for his church. He wants to compose a work that has instruments start from the right side of the church and voices follow from the left. What type of technique should he use?

Answer
A
madrigal
B
antiphon
C
motet
D
dissonance

Explanation

Antiphony is a musical technique in which groups perform in alternation, often from different locations. Samuel can place the instruments on the right and have the voices answer from the left; this is antiphonal music, or an antiphon. A madrigal and a motet are types of vocal compositions, while dissonance refers to a tense-sounding combination of notes.
