AussieIBKid Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys! I have been trying to prepare for my mock exams but can't find any relevant practice questions for our Set Works because they are relatively new papers before 2013 aren't relevant to our pieces. If anyone has some good practice questions for Set Works could you please post them. Thankyou so much!!!

Thrashmaster Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 The IB sells exams to people, and as the exams are their intellectual property, it is against IB Survival rules to give or ask for them. You would be wise to either buy them commercially, or look for them online. Another good resource would be to ask your teacher or IB coordinator for some old exams.

AussieIBKid Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well my teacher is new and hasn't done the IB before and doesn't have any relevant past papers. So i'm hoping people would be able to suggest some practice questions. Is that allowed? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaf Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Your set works are the Classical Symphony and the Yellow River Piano Concerto. Here are some practice questions. Yellow River Piano Concerto Outline the structure of the fourth movement of the Yellow River Piano Concerto with specific reference to the score.In what ways can the Yellow River Piano Concerto be considered a fusion of traditional Chinese music and Western art music?The Yellow River contains many programmatic elements. Examine at least three examples from two movements of programmtic elements.Classical Symphony Melody writing in the classical period (1750–1820) has been described as concise,balanced, organized, elegant and perfectly shaped. Which of these characteristics would apply to Prokofiev’s melodies in his “Classical†symphony, and which would not? Make clear reference to the score in your answer.Examine the use of 20th century techniques in the first movement of the Classical Symphony.What elements from the gavotte appear in the third movement of the Classical Symphony?Comparison Compare and contrast the form/structure in the first movements of the two prescribed works, emphasizing the presence of any significant musical links. Make clear reference to both scores in your answer.Investigate significant musical links between these two pieces by analysing and comparing and contrasting their timbre/tone colour and melody.One thing that you can do is look up the IB specimen paper for Music. They publish them freely when they make a new syllabus. I can't find it right now though because IB's website designers are completely incompentent. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmvanschouwen Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 How did you prepare for this exam - did you make dot points for each piece on each element or just remembered everything? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
