Grade 12 Music: Theme and Variation and Harmony

You will be performing your theme and variation likely during the last week of class in June. At this time you will also be handing in your score to me as well as sending the Finale file to my “submit” folder (S:\Hilland). Be sure to copy and paste your finale (.mus) file from your folder to mine. DO NOT SAVE YOUR OPEN FINALE FILE DIRECTLY TO MY FOLDER. The file will be corrupt and unplayable. Your final evaluation will be as follows:

General Setup (5 marks)• Title

Harmony Parts (20 marks)
