Musical Links Investigation

The Musical Links Investigation (MLI) is an externally assessment (EA) 20% consisting of a 2000 word media script (e.g. magazine article) investigating significant musical links between two works from different musical cultures

MLI Examples

"Melismatic singing and imitation in Aretha Franklin's Chain of Fools and Handel's For Unto Us A Child is Born from Messiah"
20th Century Popular Music: rhythm and blues and western art music from the Baroque. Significant links: melismatic singing and imitation

"Balinese Gamelan and Yann Tiersen's Minimalism: an analysis"
Musical cultures: Nonwestern music and 20th Century Western art music: minimalism. Significant links: ostinato and polyrhythms

'Ostinato and melodic embellishment in Chopin's Berceuse and Evan's Peace Piece". Musical cultures: 19th century western art music and 20th century popular music: cool jazz. Significant links: ostinato and melodic embellishment
