U​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‍​sing the two lists below, identify one Western musical choice and one non-Western musical choice.

 You may also choose your own examples from YouTube as long as you provide a link.

 Western or a non-Western musical style/choice. For each piece of music, write at least 1 paragraph that fully

 explains all of the items on the critical thinking checklist. Critical Thinking Checklist: What year was the song created?

 Where was the song created?

 Who is the musician/group of musicians?

 What instruments were used in the song?

 What background details can I find about the group/musicians? 

Is there any cultural or religious significance to the song? 

What elements of music are present? (for example: Rhythm, Tempo, Pitch and Scale, Melody, Harmony, Dynamics, Tone Color/Timbre) What do I hear? What similarities and differences can I hear between my two choices?
