Music Presentation/Interpretation Project

1. You will create a presentation about a song by a group or artist that sings in Spanish. The
presentation must be in Spanish. On the due date, you must either present live to the class or
have a video you created to turn in.

2. You may choose any song that is in Spanish (the song must be approved by Mrs. Pieniaszek).

3. You must include a typed copy of the lyrics in Spanish. You will also need to write an analysis
of the lyrics in Spanish. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRANSLATE IN ANY WAY. Instead, I want you to
write an analysis that is approximately 3 or so paragraphs and that answer questions such as:
¿De qué habla la canción?, ¿Cómo te sientes cuando oigas la canción? ¿Por qué elegiste esa
canción?

4. You are going to research the artist(s) and tell the class what you found. You MUST include
the following information:
 Name of group or artist
 If it’s a group, tell where the name came from
 List all of the members of the group
 Where are they originally from?
 What language(s) do they speak/sing in?
 History of the group and where they started
 What albums have they come out with and the dates
 Genre of music and some information about the genre.
 What instruments are played?
 What type of dance is associated with the music (if there is one)?
 In your own words, what is the song about? Does the artist’s background have
any influence on their music, if so what?
 Any other important information

In your presentation, you are going to talk about the information you’ve collected. The
presentation will have two parts: one where you talk about the autobiographical information
you have found and one where you play a clip of the song and talk about your analysis of the
song. The presentation needs to be in Spanish, but you may use notecards. If you like, you may
perform a karaoke version of your song.

Music is the art of expressing ideas and emotions in significant sound forms by using the elements of
rhythm, melody and harmony through voices, instruments, or both. Music plays a great role in
everyone’s life. It keeps us busy in spare time and makes our life peaceful.However, everyone wants to
listen music in their spare time to get some enjoyment and relief their mind. Listening slow sound music
gives us relief and peace and makes us healthy mentally and spiritually. It helps us to get prevented from
the mental and emotional problems all through the life.
Everyone knows how the song or Orpheus, the great musician of ancient Greece, proved captivating to
stones, trees and flood.
The song of Tansen at Akbar’s court brought about a heavy shower and kindled a fire. Music not only
rouses various feelings but also quiets the worried and wearied soul. Music is very important for almost
everyone as it helps people feel relaxed and rejuvenate their spirits. It helps in experiencing a range of
emotions love, despair, happiness and sorrow, to name a few. Music has the ability to enhance and
enrich a person’s creativity. The style of music has changed dramatically throughout the ages. For
instance, there are six main eras in music history. The Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical,
Romantic, and Twentieth Century. The music in these eras reflects the time period.
ladies and gentlemen, You have heard the speakers. Music is the art of expressing

emotion with sound, rhythm,and harmony. The origin of music initially started with

folk songs from the houses and fields in villages and the classical music from the

churches and royal courts. They have been influenced by religion, cultures,

civilisations, wars, colonisation and transformed with time to evolve into various

modern genres like country, blues,rock, hip hop, pop, rap, Jazz, R&B, Trance,

fusion, contmeporary and remix etc. But interestingly, the core values of Music

like love, peace, relief from worries, happiness, motivation, good health and mental

satisfaction have survived all types of invasions. Music is a universal language

without borders and the most powerful weapon that wins the hearts of mankind

even today. Long live Music which is by far the greatest creation. Thankyou.

(Señoras y señores) Damas y caballeros, Escuchaste los parlantes ( oradores). La

música es el arte de expresar emociones con sonido, ritmo y armonía. El origen de la

música comenzó inicialmente con canciones populares de las casas y los campos en

los pueblos y la música clásica de las iglesias y las cortes reales. La música española

tambien ha sido influenciada por la religión, las culturas, las civilizaciones, las

guerras, la colonización y se han transformado con el tiempo para evolucionar en

varios géneros modernos como country, blues, rock, hip hop, pop, rap, jazz, R&B,
 trance, fusión, música contemporánea y remix, etc. Pero curiosamente, los valores

fundamentales de la Musica como amor, alivio, dolor, ansiedad, miedo, felicidad,

paz, motivación, entusiasmo, buena salud y satisfacción mental premenace igual y

han sobrevivido a todo tipo de invasiones. La música es un idioma universal sin

fronteras y el arma más poderosa que gana el corazón de la humanidad aún hoy.

Larga vida a la música que es, con mucho, la mayor creación. Gracias.
