Unit 3: Ancient and Medieval Music

Question 5 • Music Appreciation: The Enjoyment of Listening (IS)

Nathanial’s school is considering cutting music from their curriculum. He wants to make the argument that music has been considered important to the education of young people for centuries. How would he BEST make this argument?

Answer
A
He should quote the Hurrian Song.
B
He should quote Aristotle’s beliefs.
C
He should quote the Epitaph of Seikilos.
D
He should quote Pope Gregory I’s thoughts.

Explanation

Aristotle wrote that music should be part of young people’s education because it helps shape character and teaches them to appreciate beauty. Quoting his beliefs directly supports Nathanial’s argument that music has been considered important in education for centuries. The Hurrian Song and the Epitaph of Seikilos are ancient musical works, but they do not specifically make an argument for music education.
