Just title it whatever prompt that you pick

  I chose the 4 page/1100 words selection but if you could keep it between 900-1000 that would be great. Choose one of the following prompts: 1.

Benjamin Britten, War Requiem, Op. 66, Requiem aeternam, p. 172 Dmitri Shostakovich, String Quartet No. 8, Op. 110, Movement 3, p. 194 2. Contrast the approach of live performance with electronics in these two works. Mario Davidovsky, Synchonisms No. 6 (Excerpt) Kaija Saariaho, Noa Noa 3. Choose one or two of the following works and compare the compositional and/or aesthetic approaches. You can discuss the place of the work in history, the effects of WWII or the Cold War on the composer, new compositional methods, or new listening and performance practices.
