You may NOT write about Bessie Smith's recording of "St. Louis Blues" or Paul Robeson's recording of "Go Down, Moses." Listen to your chosen piece two or three more times (before consulting any outside material). Write a detailed personal response. What do you hear? Why does the piece move you or appeal to you?
