ASSIGNMENT DETAILS
CONTENT:
The report is about YOUR observations of one live concert of at least 90 total minutes of music. Your live concert choice must be approved by Dr. Mitchell before the performance.
A successful report will address these categories:
1. Performance setting and types of music: give the date, place, and name(s) of groups performing. Briefly describe the performance setting. For example, you might include your observations on the look of the performance space, performers’ attire, audience’s attire, etc. and how it affected your concert-viewing experience. Which types/genres of music were performed (symphony, opera, solo, chamber, etc.)? What pieces did you hear? Who were the composers, and what are their historical eras?
2. The main body of your report (about 3 pages long) should focus on accurately applying the knowledge gained in this class to the specific music you heard. Narrow your focus to two movements or short pieces from the concert video, and do one or more of the following:
a. Choose two movements or short pieces from the program contrast/compare these works with references to specific musical elements.
b. Choose two movements or short pieces, and give an overview of their overall character. What types of moods or feelings did they evoke? (refer to specific musical elements in your descriiption)
c. Choose the music composition you liked best, and describe why, using specific musical elements. Choose the music composition you liked least and describe why, using musical elements. Use YOUR ears (not the internet’s ideas). Listen for the basic elements discussed in class, and apply them to the music. Try to highlight what really “stuck out” to you about the musical selections highlighted in this section.
3. Evaluate your concert-viewing experience: What did you enjoy about the performance? What would have improved your experience? How did the performance fit or surprise your expectations? Were there any aspects of the performance that were unfamiliar or surprising to you? If so, what? What was the overall reaction of the audience or people in the audience (if there was one)? Watch it with a family member/friend, and write a little about their concert impressions.
