AP Music Theory 2011

<h1>5 should end in a V-VI, my handwriting is just atrocious. I don’t think it matters what voice does the suspension, as long as you aren’t breaking partwriting rules. I don’t even have my green sheet in front of me, which I did write my answers in, so I don’t even know if these are what I put on the actual exam. My #7 was better on the actual exam, that’s for sure.</h1>

<p>For some reason I had hard time distinguishing between V and V7 chords on the harmonic dictations, so I probably missed a couple of those. For some reason, a few other competent students in my class said that the altered chord was a V43/ii, not a V42/ii…can anyone verify or deny that it’s a V42/ii?</p>

<p>Well, I know bass was F-natural and soprano was B-natural. So it would be a G major triad with a seventh. I think it’s 3rd inversion, since F’s on bottom so 42.</p>

<p>Alright, thank you! Man, I enjoyed taking this test…I’m such a theory nerd, but I suppose that’s a result of me going to a performing arts school.</p>

<p>I enjoyed stuff where I could use my perfect pitch. The rest, not so much. :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>But it was definitely an experience. I mean, where else can you take such a comprehensive exam on music?</p>

<p>You’re so unbelievably lucky for having perfect pitch. I have relative pitch - albeit, very strong relative pitch - and it just makes me jelly when other people can pick out melodies without needing a starting note. :P</p>

<p>I thought it went pretty well overall… thought 2nd dictation was hard but nailed it. My testing location had crappy speakers and i found it very difficult to hear the bass notes at all… even though “mega bass” was “ON” on the boombox…</p>

<p>still reasoned through it and i’m pretty sure i did fine on it. i also got a V42/ii for that FRQ that is being discussed…</p>

<p>The K pop was very interesting and it is seared into my mind</p>

<p>Yeah the k-pop was awesome. I’ve done a little research and I think it may be by a group called ANYA.
The test was easy as far as I could tell. I loved the comp. Section. Of course I always have fun in comp. (Because I’m a composer myself). That fi in the sightsinging wrecked my life though, when I saw that I was like, “screw sol-fetch, relitive pitch don’t fail me now!”</p>

<p>^Can’t seem to find ANYA on Wikipedia or YouTube. But I could definitely recognize the song if someone sent me the right YouTube link or something.</p>

<p>The Korean thing really weirded me out.</p>

<p>It’s ANAYA, not ANYA.</p>

<p>Here’s a link to a site with one of their sample songs. The beginning sounds really similar to the one on the test, but it’s sung by a woman.</p>

<p>[Group</a> ANAYA](<a href=“http://schedule.sxsw.com/events/event_MS13243]Group”>http://schedule.sxsw.com/events/event_MS13243)</p>

<p>Not the one on the test, unfortunately. Do you have a link to an official site or YouTube links to some of their songs?</p>

<p>EDIT: After listening to some other songs by this band on YouTube, it doesn’t seem like this band (which uses a lot of traditional instruments as opposed to the drums, trumpets, flute, and sax on the exam) is it. :/</p>

<p>

</a></p>

<p>Just bumping these. I’m comparing with the scoring guidelines and I’m 99% positive I got a perfect score. If I missed any points, it’d be on #7.</p>

<p>Was the Korean song that bad? It sounds like a lot of people found it hilarious/weird. :/</p>

<p>I don’t know who it is that found this, but I randomly saw this on reddit:
[Seulgidoong</a> - sogeum gangsu (???- ???) - YouTube](<a href=“Seulgidoong - sogeum gangsu (슬기둥- 소금장수) - YouTube”>Seulgidoong - sogeum gangsu (슬기둥- 소금장수) - YouTube)</p>

<p>^Woah. This is perfect. How in the world…?</p>

<p>Yesssssssssssss!</p>
