A bit more detail on the requirements of the three final project options:
- Catullus essay in English
- organize all of the poems about the Lesbia affair into a sequence
- analyze the poetry to justify the sequence you suggest
- at least 5+ pages
- blend word-level analysis and high-level discussion of the progressing narrative
- Write the missing Catullus poem
- compose a Latin poem in meter that reflects Catullus’s style and content
- do not repeat Catullus — your work should still be original
- at least 10+ lines
- a brief companion piece offering translation, scansion, and notes on poetic devices
- Compose lyrics for a new FCS anthem
- work with Mr Luzuriaga to compose Latin lyrics for a new choral & orchestral piece that will be performed next year
- work with BC & Mr Luzuriaga to develop themes, meter, word choice, etc
- at least 10+ lines
- a brief companion piece offering translation, scansion, and notes on poetic devices
- be flexible to the idea that many ideas might be merged into the final musical performance
- ???
- So far I have received one proposal for a new kind of final project that I did not originally suggest. Do you have some exciting ideas of your own? Let’s talk.
Expect to have a check-in appointment with BC before the end of the month, and a due date for this final project by the end of May.
