Choose a composer from any period covered in the textbook. Give some biographical information about this composer. Describe the historical setting—social structures, wars, and other major events or inventions that happen during this period that might have influenced the composer. Detail the contributions made to music by this composer, and why you believe this person is important in the development of music. The paper should be double-spaced, a minimum of five (5) pages and adhere to APA style guidelines. Your bibliography page counts as one of the 5 pages. It should include five (5) or more scholarly references. The final draft should be submitted as a PDF to the instructor.
