Concert Evaluation AssignmentIn a well-written essay of approx.docx

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? 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 .

Follow the picture I provide to write the concert report . Concert Guidelines: 1. The le vel of the performance must be c ollege-age performers or professional —no middle/high school/etc. performances . 2. The performance must be of western art music, similar to the genres discussed in text chapters assigned in the syllabus—orchestra, chamber music , solo instrumental performances , opera, choir, ballet, musicals, etc. If you have doubts about a concert qualifying as “western art” music, e-mail the professor before attending . 3. You must attend the entire performance- no late arrivals or early departures. Report: Format: 2-4 pages, typed, double-spaced on 8.5 x 11 paper with one-inch margins . Report should include a title, a header with your name and the date, and page numbers. Writing Voice and style : Your colleagues taking this class should be able to read the report and gain a clear concept of your experience. You will not need to define the terminology we have covered in class, but you do need to keep in mind that your audience will not HEAR this concert and will rely on a sense of the experience solely from your descriptions. This paper should have an academic style - formal, with no contractions used. Content: The report is YOUR observations of the concert. A successful report will address these categories: 1. Performance setting and types of music : Give the d ate, place, and name(s) of groups performing. B riefly d escribe the performance setting- for example, you might include your observations on the ambiance of the performance space, performers’ attire dress, audience’s attire , etc. and how it affected your concert-going experience. Which types/genres of music were perfo rmed (symphony, opera, solo, chamber, etc ) . What pieces did you hear , who were the composers , and what were historical eras of these pieces? 2. The main body of your report should focus on accurately and interestingly applying the knowledge gained in this class to the specific music you heard at the concert. Narrow your focus to two movements or short pieces from your concert and do one of the following: a. Choose two movements or short pieces from the program and contrast/compare these works with references to specific musical elements. b. Choose two movements of short pieces and give an overview of their character s - what types of moods or feelings they evoked with references to specific musical elements. 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…) and listen for the basic elements discussed in class and apply them to the pieces of your concert. Try to highlight what really “stuck out” to you about the music al selections highlighted in this section. Content (continued) 3. Evaluate your co ncert goin.
