56Lesson IVObjectives:• Students will compose a variation on the chorale melody.• Students will demonstrate an understanding of variations based on a theme bycomposing their own variations on the chorale theme.Standards:• Improvising melodies, variations, and accompaniments.• Composing and arranging music within specified guidelines.• Reading and notating music.Once students have learned the chorale melody, they should learn how each individualvariation correlates to the theme. Comparison of variation melodies to the choralemelody, key centers, natural and harmonic minor, unusual harmonies, rhythm, timesignatures, and tempo differences among variations should be addressed during therehearsal process. Students should be given the opportunity to apply this knowledge andtheir individual musical creativity to compose a variation on the chorale. The teachershould consider a flexible grading system for this activity, perhaps solely based onstudents' participation and completion of the activity since this is an exercise in creativityand is therefore more subjective. If eight measures of original composition proves toochallenging for students, the activity may be changed to a four-measure composition thatcontinues from the first section of the chorale melody.As a follow-up activity, students should share their compositions by performingeach other's variations. This may be done by singing or playing. The teacher maydistribute students' variations, or students may choose a partner with whom to exchangecompositions. After this activity, students can provide written or aural feedback to eachother concerning their compositions. The teacher may choose to reserve collecting andgrading compositions until after students receive feedback from their peers and have achance to revise their variations if necessary.
