    Most of the exams have been fairly easy this year other than Maths so I'm hoping for a major melody in 4/4 and no upbeat :P
    There's never been a straight major melody in the last 8 years though. It's always been either anacrusis, minor or 6.8..

    There had never been an essay on the use/threat of violence in Ireland in History. There was this year.

    okay i'm just after reading "Batman Motif". apparently it's in the opera section. O: what does it even sound like!? :eek: help? :o

    I'm probably too late but what that's most likely referring to is how the melody is chromatic - easy come, easy go etc. It sounds like the "na na na na na na na na na na na na" bit in the Batman theme. :P

    this may sound stupid but what exactly should you do with the phrasing?

    Just put a phrase marking/line thing over each line, that's it! :)

    Make sure that if there is an upbeat that you don't put the upbeat at the end of the first line under the phrase mark, it will be the begining of the second phrase... if you get what I mean.

    yeah, i get you, but in all these examples there are extra articulation/slur marks between two notes, is that necessary? http://www.examinations.ie/archive/examiners_reports/cer_2007/music_lc_ce_report_2007_final_29_Jan_08.pdf
    they're at the end

    I would've hated that! When Bach came up as Q1 last year I high-fived the guy behind me!

    Also, how did you find that out 13 mins after the exam started?

    Haha, I did it last year too, I was just glad it wasn't Gerald Barry!


    I'm an attendant so I'm sitting in between two exam centres. I was listening to the fecking songs echoing each other haha

    Does anyone know what the Irish Trad and Jazz fusion tune was? It was one of the most amazing things I ever heard!

    damn, haha i couldn't count the rhythm of it at all, because of all the ornamentation and the fact that the rhythm seemed pretty loose to me, i hadn't a clue for the dance!

    Delighted that Bohemian was question one. Other than the paper was okay. I do question 1 and 5 on the composing and found the 6/8 annoying :P

    6/8 minor q1! Lovely.

    6/8 minor q4! Quite reasonable... Through in a few sexy dissonance/resolution notes to get some extra marks! ;)

    I said bodhran too. I'm pretty certain there was one. And I had spoons down in brackets beside the question too.

    Listening was the nicest I've ever seen, couldn't have gone better. In contrast, composing couldn't have gone worse. But I'm free, no more Leaving Cert, no more Gerald Barry, so I'm going out to get drunk tonight :D
