- - - - 1943
      - Established practices to evoke images of black America's artistic efforts
      - Each movement based on a different piece of artwork
      - The combo of the violin and piano are pleasing to the ear. It also allows for the artist to add elements of jazz, especially in the piano. Starts of fast and very lively during the first movement, is the transitioned into a slow paced and expressive second movement that follows a more traditional style.Third movement is more upbeat and humorous, with more jazz being incorporated into the section. Extremely beautiful piece that is put together incredibly well.
- - - - Basing music on songs and dances of their people
      - works celebrated national heroes and historic events
  - - - 1876
      - Greig composed twenty-two pieces as incidental music for the play
      - Is a very recognizable piece of music. Used to describe peaceful and wonderful scenes in movies. Starts off slow with a flute and is accompanied by the string and percussion instruments. Continues to crescendo to a brass section, but then falls back into the main melody but altered in the slightest bit.

      - Country Band March (LG 51)
        
        1903
        
        March for wind band
        
        Complex mash of tunes and well-known musical quotations
        
        Incredibly hard to listen to. So much is going on at any given point that it almost causes a jam. Incorporates lots of known music but is all almost incredibly badly put together, It is for sarcastic reasons but even so it is still hard to listen to and extremely unpleasant. Lots of different tones and melodies going on at once, you said it was for humor but still isnt something id ever listen to.

        1937
        
        Frederico Garcia Lorca was executed via firing squad
        
        Piece starts off with a high level of dissonance. Has a nice mix of piano and mariachi which is different to hear. Often being against one another as the piece goes on. There are varying meters that come off quite poorly, not being great to the ear. Did not enjoy listening to it for the contrasting pieces that were quite annoying.
    - - Other Americans also crafted a uniquely American sound
      - Realized a nationalist approach through reference to vernacular traditions
      - Culture and history of the U.S. and Mexico are intertwined
