WRIT 3730, Substantive Editing. CD: Dunja Baus.

Abstract

"Music Communicates" is a thoughtful creative essay that simultaneously interweaves the writer's advanced music knowledge while also arguing how anyone, even those without a formal music background, can fully grasp and understand the way in which music can communicate meaning. By bringing in personal and academic examples of how music is a universal language, the writer is able to seamlessly lead the reader through technical music aspects while also persuasively proving their point. "Music Communicates" is a worthy entry that is a must-read for all those interested in the rhetoric of music.
