Assignment #1 - Classical Report

Be Careful! The term 'Classical Music" is one that has been given to ALL 'serious' music. This report should not be about "Classical Music", but only about the "Classical Style Period” (1750-1820). Also! There is another time period called “Classical Antiquity” referring to ancient Greece and Rome (800 BC to 600 AD). The founding of Rome and the death of Alexander the Great are NOT from the Classical Music Era. Homer and Virgil are NOT authors during 1750-1820!


Create a presentation on the Classical Period. You may create this presentation in MS Word or PowerPoint, in a webpage, blog or wiki. You may use another application to create the project if you ask for and receive teacher approval PRIOR to submission.
Write a report about the Classical Style Period.
This report should NOT be about the music of the Classical Period, but rather the world events, painters &/or sculptors, authors and buildings of this time period.

History (World Events)
