Concert Evaluation Assignment
In a well-written essay of approximately 700 words (typed),
create a review of a live professional concert relevant to this
course. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the concert and
focus mainly on the most important/striking elements and
qualities of the performance. Use that information to arrive at
an overall evaluation of the event.
Hints to keep you writing:
Describe: This is the very basic and factual content of your
paper and should function as the introduction to your review.
When was the concert? Where was it? Who performed? What
kind of music was performed? Was there any particular theme to
the concert? Was there anything unusual about the concert
occasion? Don't list everything on the program, but do
summarize the important information.
Analyze: To analyze something is to examine its components
and, more than just describe them, to seek out relationships
among the parts. What were the outstanding musical
characteristics of the pieces? How did the pieces that were
performed compare to each other? How do they compare to what
you have learned in class and to music you have heard at other
times? This section is where you may want to use the musical
terms and concepts that have been discussed in class (but see
the section below on using musical terminology).
Interpret: Did you find some meaning in the music? What do
you think may have been the original significance of the music?

4. Does it have a different significance today? What people might
want to listen to this music, and why? There are no right or
wrong answers to these kinds of questions, but always give
examples and make supporting statements to back up your
assertions.
Judge: Remember that a concert consists of two things: the
music being performed and the people who are doing the
performing. Don't confuse the two. Do talk about each one. Did
you like the music, and why (or why not)? Regardless of
whether you liked the music, did you think that the performers
did a good job? What, if anything, do you think would have
improved the performance? Again, these are individual and
subjective responses, but give explanations for your judgments.
Disclaimer and General Guidelines: Do not write your review
only by answering some or all of the questions listed in the
above paragraphs. They are not intended to be a checklist of
things that you must write about, but rather are suggestions to
direct your thinking about various aspects of the music and
performance. The principal goal of this assignment is for you to
listen critically to a live performance and then to articulate in
writing your observations and reactions. Originality of thought
and clarity of expression are more important to this assignment
than is addressing each and every point outlined above.
Using Program Notes: Many concert programs provide
information about either the music being performed or the
performers. These notes are for your benefit and can assist you
in understanding and enjoying the concert. These notes are not,
however, meant to write your paper for you. It is all right for
you to quote short sections from the program notes, but if you
do, YOU MUST INDICATE THAT YOU ARE QUOTING
FROM THE NOTES. Use phrases like "According to the
program notes...," "Notes to the concert state that...," or "The
program notes described the piece as...." If you do use quotes

5. from the program notes, limit them to no more than a few
sentences. The concert review is to be your ideas and your
words, not someone else's. Occasionally one of the performers
will talk to the audience about the music or about the people
who are performing. The same applies to these remarks. You
may say "The performer informed the audience that...," or
"According to the performer, this piece is...." But make it clear
whose words are whose.
Some things not to include: The focus of this paper is on the
music and your thoughts about it. You are not telling a story to
someone: don't give a minute-by-minute account of exactly what
happened on stage. Instead, summarize and highlight the
important features. Don't describe what you did during the
concert, either; instead write about the music and the
performance in the ways suggested above. Your personal
reactions are important, but only insofar as you attempt to relate
your experiences to the music.
Using musical terminology: At the beginning of this course you
were introduced to some of the special terms used to talk about
music, some of which are Italian words. You may decide that
you want to use some of these terms in your review. In any case
you should address these features:
You will be graded on your ability to do the following:
Musical Characteristics – Convincingly analyze how the
following contribute to the execution or meaning of the musical
performance:
Musical Instruments / Tone Color - The use of musical
instruments and tone color
Melody- The use or absence of melodic contour, phrasing,
scales and modes
Rhythm- Including meter, tempo, syncopation and rhythmic

6. patterns,
Harmony - The use or absence of harmony, tonality, and
harmonic texture
Cultural/Historical Context- Elaborate on the cultural and
historical background of a musical work and how the context is
reflected in the musical performance.
Performance – Critique the quality of the performers, analyzing
their proficiency, artistic interpretation and ability to
communicate musically with the audience
Concert Experience – Analyze the environment of the concert,
the venue and the relationship between the performers and
audience.
Writing Mechanics – Coherently organize your evaluation using
proper sentence structure, punctuation and spelling.
