What's inside

  • Fields for the composer's dates, country and period, with the six eras to circle from Medieval to Modern
  • A 1400–2000 timeline to draw the composer's lifespan on and name another composer working at the same time
  • Space for teachers, rivals and followers, and one event from the wider world that shaped their music
  • A table for three works to know — title, date, written for, and why that one — spanning early, central and late
  • A second side for listening notes on all three works, copying out a four-bar theme, and a before-you-hand-it-in checklist
