2. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Born January 2, 1970, Eric Whitacre has grown into an influential band and choral composer/conductor of the 21 st century. Studying at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and receiving his Master’s degree from Julliard, Whitacre is probably most well known for his choral compositions. His pieces are easily recognizable by “Whitacre chords”. Whitacre also uses rhythm as an important aspect of his compositions. His pieces are known for frequent meter change and unusual rhythmic patterns. Eric Whitacre has suddenly gotten ill, and cannot remember his compositions, or what his trade mark chords are made up of. Will you help him in recovering his memory, and getting this great composer of the 21 st century back to where he left off? Bring your paper and musical knowledge as we journey into the mind of Eric Whitacre…

9. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson was developed as part of Colorado State University’s EDUC 331 requirement of Technology in the classroom. This WebQuest was designed so AP theory students will be able to hear and apply traditional music theory to understanding Eric Whitacre’s compositions. By studying his life, listening and analyzing his compositions, they will be able to compose a short choral song that implements his style into their compositions. It is a building block for non-traditional theory, so they will be more prepared for the theory that they will encounter if/when they arrive to college theory. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

[ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This WebQuest was developed for 12 th grade AP Music Theory students to cover the area of learning in music education. Students will need to know basic music theory. They will have had to analyze Bach Chorales and know the traditional harmonic progressions. They will also have to be familiar with Finale.

16. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page It is important to not only learn about the common practice period of composition, but also about the more recent composers. It seems today most of the school time is spent on Bach, Beethoven and Mozart…I’m not saying this is a bad thing…I am a strong believer in those composers being the “building blocks” of what compositions are today. However, I also believe that we should start looking at the lives of other composers and analyzing their music to understand their take on dissonances and rhythmic patterns. Although Eric Whitacre is not the first person to explore the possibilities of “thinking outside the box”, he is the most prominent now days. Because of his recent acclimation of “fame”, studying Eric Whitacre, he life, who he studied under, where he graduated and what makes up his chords…students now will be able to become more well rounded with the new sense of theory.
