Listening to Musical Form in Jazz
As you prepare for the Listening Guide assignment due later this semester, it is important that you begin to develop your listening skills and the ability to recognize instruments, timbres, and musical forms common to jazz.
Listen to the recording of Bessie Smith’s “In the House Blues” (1931). In a word document (.doc or .docx file), identify the instruments you hear on this recording as well as the style of music you think best describes the song (for example blues, ragtime, New Orleans jazz, etc.). Also, identify which instruments have solos and where they occur (use the timings included on the attached recording (for example, “At 1:13, the electric guitar has a solo”). In addition, see if you can identify the musical form. Review the discussion of musical form in your readings. Identifying form involves hearing beats and counting measures. If this is still difficult for you, don’t worry. You’ll have plenty of practice over the course of the semester as you continue to listen to and discuss songs. Use the Listening Guides included in your textbook as models and guides for your own formal diagrams.
In addition to the information above, please describe any difficulties you may still have in identifying instruments, counting measures, hearing form. Also identify any musical characteristics/features discussed in the text that are present in this recording (discussions of musical timbre (for example, do any instruments use mutes?), performance styles (“growls,” slides, etc.), “stop time” techniques, polyphonic or homophonic texture?
