John Cage Silence Society and Music Lecture Questions Question 1: Each prompt should be responded to in no less than one paragraph (of at least 5 sentences) for full credit. The entire assignment should be SINGLE spaced, and no less than ONE page in length and no more than TWO pages. Read the excerpt from John Cage’s Silence (Lecture on Nothing, Lecture on Something, and 45’ for a Speaker) and then answer each of the following questions: – What is John Cage saying in his Lecture on Nothing? Why is the text formatting the way it is on the page? Is this poetry or prose?- How is Cage’s Lecture on Nothing similar/dissimilar from his Lecture on Something? Again, why has the author decided to present his ideas this way?- Is 45’ for a Speaker a piece of music? Why or why not? Is this a musical score? Does this differ from the Lecture on Nothing/Something, or is this a new idea?
Question 2: John Cage’s 4’33. Is it a piece of art/music? Or is it not?
For this question you must post your point of view first (again, 8 full sentences or bullet points) for full credit, and then respond in at least two sentences as someone with the opposing view point.
