July 15 - Red State

Here's the next Online Lecture (playlist of 6 linked c. 15-minute original videos on YouTube).  Looking forward to your notes on this one, as well as all of week (c. 300-500 words each) -- handwritten or typed -- as pdf or jpg attachment to mus21stc@gmail.com, by 6pm, this Friday, July 16).  Many Happy Returns!

Information for Quiz 10 (20th-Century Music II) below second picture -- emailing y'all blank pdf of same, w/ identical due date above.

And, by the way, evidently Insite did not deliver all of last group emails this past Tuesday morning. 
If you did not hear from me re Quiz 9, feel free to request another copy.
Standard email is probably more reliable, so, if you'd like to send me an alternative address, that would be great!

Also planning on Zoom 10 for all interested parties -- a tenth optional online get-together...
Today at 11:30am!
... sending out Zoom invite via group email approx. 30 minutes previous!...
