This unit takes a historical starting point as a basis for an exploration into Tudor music. Pupils begin by learning about Tudor Dance Music and in particular, the Pavan, as a popular Tudor dance. Pupils identify its characteristic musical features and rhythms before attempting to dance the Pavan and performing and composing their own modal Pavan melodies over a drone accompaniment. Pupils then learn about traditional Tudor musical instruments before exploring Tudor and madrigal-style songs with a “fa-la-la” refrain, where they compose their own lyrics to a given melody. Fanfares are explored briefly before pupils work towards putting on a Tudor-style “Banquet-Concert” combining elements of the unit into a class performance. Element Focus - Rhythm, Timbre & Dynamics, Structure & Form |
