Choose a nationalist composer from our studies or elsewhere and do some quick research on the composer's country or ethnic group. Draw some conclusions about how that ethnicity is manifest in the music. Avoid stereotypes, but be brave in your analysis. At the end of your post, be sure to tell us where you got your information. Find something other that Wikipedia upon which you can base your writing.
