to deafening produced by (2) _________ and gas exploration, as well as naval sonar.
Even when relatively low in terms of decibels, noise pollution can cause (3) _________
problems for ocean life. For example, cetaceans are primarily acoustic animals. As marine traffic

XI. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.
An arrangement of a musical composition is a reworking of a piece of music so that it can be
played by a different instrument or combination of instruments from the original. For example, a
song written for one voice with piano accompaniment might be arranged so that it can be sung in
parts by a choir, or a piece for violin might be arranged so that it can be played on a clarinet
instead. The person who does the arrangement may be the composer themselves, or it may be someone else.
In music history, composers often published their compositions, saying that the music could
be played or sung by various instruments. For example, when English composers published
madrigals in the late 16th century they often stated that they could be sung by singers or played
on viols. In the Classical music period a composer might publish a sonata, stating that it could be
played on the violin or flute or recorder. This helped to sell more copies, because violinists,
flautists and recorder players might all want to buy the music. In a sense this is not really an
arrangement, because no changes have been made to the music.
However, when violin or cello music is arranged so that it can be played on a viola, some
changes may be necessary as the viola may be playing in a different key, or some chords may be
more awkward the way they were originally written. This is an arrangement. A popular piece
such as The Flight of the Bumble Bee by Rimsky-Korsakov can be played by almost any melodic
instrument: violin, xylophone, tuba etc. These are all arrangements.
1. People arrange a musical composition so that it is only played by original instruments. _________
2. A song written for one voice with piano accompaniment can’t be arranged to be sung by a choir. _________
3. A piece for violin can be arranged to be played on a clarinet. _________
4. An arrangement of a musical composition can be done by either the composer or another musician. _________ Trang 6
5. We rarely see a composer publish their compositions and the instruments to be played. _________
6. Violinists and flutists might want to buy a sonata that is composed to play on the violin or flute. _________
7. If no changes are made to the music of a musical composition, that piece of music can’t be
called a new arrangement. _________
8. It’s unnecessary to change the violin music for playing it on a viola. _________
