You must attend a concert outside of class, and write a 2-4 page paper about it. You may not use the same concert for your oral report and written report. The concert must be Western Art Music of one of the genres we cover throughout the class. Consult your syllabus for genres we will cover, or ask me if you are unsure if a concert is acceptable. Your report should include the name of the concert you went to, where it was held, the type of ensemble you listened to and the name of the performer or group. Name of your favorite piece or movement and describe it in as much detail of possible using your knowledge of beat, rhythm, meter, pitch range, timbre, dynamics and instruments. What about it did you like and why did it appeal to you? Then describe a little bit about your least favorite work on the program. How was it different from the piece you liked? What specifically about it do you not enjoy? (hint: "It was boring" is not a good answer.) What similarities, if any, did it have to the piece you liked? I highly recommend you take the time to completely understand the assignment before attending the concert, and take notes specifically related to what you are supposed to report on while you are at the concert. You should be familiar with this assignment from your oral report. Your written report will be very similar to your oral report, but it should be more formal in tone. Remember to write clearly and in a style appropriate to an academic paper. Paper Formatting Requirements: 2-4 pages double spaced 12-point font one-inch margins You will be graded on: grammar, relevancy to the prompt, understanding of the subject matter, clear and effective communication and formatting .

Here are a few examples of full length concerts you can find online (by conducting a web search using the criteria below) that could be used for this assignment:  Coldplay Live In Boston 2012 (Full Concert DVD)  Sting: If on a winters night-Live from Durham Cathedral 2009 (watch all 14 songs on concert)  Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ron Wood, Bill Wyman, Jan Hammer, Charlie  Duke Ellington The Great Paris Concert  Richard Galliano/Winton Marsalis - Billie Holiday meets Edith PIAF  Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra @ The BBC Proms 2004  Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson, Amazing stuff!  Loretta Lynn -- You're Looking At Country - Legends In Concert You may choose a different concert video to watch, but be sure you include the URL of the concert you chose in your critique, or scan the program of the live concert you attended and attach it. The musical style of the concert should include at least one of the genres studied in this course. The Concert Critique should be 2.5 pages long, double spaced. It should contain five paragraphs that describe the following aspects of the concert you attended: 1. Who are the performers? Give the title of the concert and write something about the performers. Is it an orchestra? A choir? An ensemble? Solo artists? Why did you choose to attend this particular performance? Tell as much as you know about the musicians that performed – are they professionals? Students? Teachers? How long have they been performing? Etc. 2. Describe the music that was performed on the concert. Use the musical characteristics that we have been learning in class. What genre is the music (opera aria? Jazz song? Standard tune? Solo instrument piece? Symphony?) 3. What style period was the music written in? What was the tempo, dynamics, texture, etc.? Sometimes the music in a concert will be only one genre. Sometimes there will be several genres performed. Attach the program to your critique, and then refer to the titles in the program. For example: “Autumn Leaves” was performed by a small instrumental ensemble (guitar, bass, and percussion). It is a standard contemporary tune. The tempo was a moderately slow ballad. It had a very mellow sound… 4. Tell how well you think the performers interpreted the music that was on the concert. Were the singers in tune? Did the piano player play musically and rhythmically? Do you think the performers communicated the music as it was meant to be communicated by the composer? 5. Tell which pieces or part of the concert was most moving or enjoyable for you. If you didn’t enjoy the concert very much, tell why you didn’t enjoy it. What could have been better? Be as specific as you can when expressing your opinion of the .

A musical ethnography is a piece of writing that explores some aspect of a particular music-culture through fieldwork. The main goal in doing musical ethnography is to come to an understanding of how an “insider” experiences their own music-culture and then to write up your findings in a way that communicates this perspective to your readers. To gain an “insider” perspective, ethnographers must seek out first-hand experience with their subject, usually by conducting interviews with musical “insiders” and by spending time participating and observing the music-culture. For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to choose a music-culture that interests you and research it in two ways: first-hand (via an interview and/or fieldwork) and also via secondary sources (traditional library research). The first-hand information is the most valuable to an ethnographer, but library research will provide you with the necessary background information to design your project, formulate questions for your interviewee, and write up your findings. Basic Requirements: - A one-paragraph to one-page proposal of the project (which must include the name of your interviewee, your subject, and your topic) - A 6-8 page paper (double-spaced, 12 pt font) with properly formatted bibliography, which must include at least two outside sources, one of which must be a print source (book, journal article, newspaper or magazine article). Project Steps: Step 1: Choose a Topic/Write a Proposal Read the article “Doing Musical Ethnography” on BB—it provides excellent guidance for choosing a topic for your project. A good way to start is by brainstorming people that you know who are involved in music (musicians, teachers, producers, students, also active listeners and fans) or thinking of musical organizations (bands, clubs, radio stations, dance troupes, fan clubs) that you have some connection to. Consider your own family or group of friends, and don’t be shy about asking around. You might assume that no one in your family is musical, but a few questions can turn up some very interesting information that may lead you to your topic. Once you choose your subject (the music-culture you want to explore, broadly speaking), you need to narrow down the topic that you want to study within that culture. For instance, let’s say you want to study the music-culture at your church, and decide to interview the choir conductor. You will soon discover that you could talk for hours with your interviewee about numerous things: what happens at a choir rehearsal? Who chooses the songs that will be performed? What is the relationship between the musical program and the religious service? Or you might ask the conductor biographical questions, or about their training, education, etc. Soon, you will have too much information and no way to organize it into a paper. The solution is to narrow down the scope before you conduct the interview, and let your questions rel.

Exploring Music Concert Paper Guidelines Instructions 1) Choose. Pick a classical music concert from the list provided on Blackboard. Sign up and buy tickets. 2) Research. Using reputable sources, learn about the composers and music featured at the concert. I recommend searching Google for program notes from major orchestras. 3) Write. Write a typed, double-spaced, 2 -3 page research paper, including properly formatted citations using APA, MLA, or Chicago style. This must be done before you attend the concert. 4) Cite. Cite your sources using in-text citations. Include a works cited list with full citations using MLA, APA, or Chicago. If you don’t know how to do this, read this. 5) Submit. Turn in your research paper under the “concerts” tab in Blackboard 2 days before the concert date. It will be checked for plagiarism. 6) Go. Plan ahead. Dress appropriately. Get to your concert on time. If you’re late, you might not get in. 7) Listen. Use active listening during the concert. (See “at the concert” below.) 8) Smile. Take a selfie or have someone take a picture of you that clearly shows that you were at the concert. In the lobby during intermission is a good time for this! Save your ticket and program. 9) Interview. Talk to someone at the concert. Ask them why they came and what they thought. 10) Write. Add a “part two” to your research paper. This second part should be a typed, double-spaced, 2-3 page reaction paper to your concert. Talk about what you thought, show off your active listening skills, and include the results of your interview. 11) Add. Add your concert picture to the last page of your paper. If you don’t have this, I can’t accept the paper for credit. Staple your ticket to your paper. 12) Submit. Turn in a hard copy of your complete paper (research part AND reaction part with picture and ticket) in class on or before the due dates indicated. At The Concert: Active Listening Choose one piece from your concert to analyze. Identify the meter, texture, and two other musical elements. Reflect on the music. What emotions do you get from that piece? Does it spark anything in your imagination? Does it remind you of anything? What is it about the music that creates those feelings and ideas? Interview a fellow attendee after the show or during intermission. Ask why they came and what they thought. WARNING DO NOT OVER-USE DIRECT QUOTATIONS. If your paper has more than 50 words that are directly quoted, I will return the paper to you, ungraded. Quotes can be useful, but you have to know when and how to use them! Blend your quotes within your narrative. Paraphrase when appropriate. Read this. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. All sources, even if they are only alluded to or paraphrased, must be cited. http://guides.temple.edu/c.php?g=77953&p=528593 http://www.temple.edu/writingctr/support-for-writers/documents/BecominganEffectiveWriterinCollege.pdf http://www.bibme. ...

The concerts can be any popular music performance in which you can listen actively to the performance. Due to the Covid-19 issues, I am allowing concerts from YouTube or other online sources to count for the concert review. The concert must also be at least an hour in length. 2 pages typed and double-spaced. Please include URL (online link), date, venue, genre, and name of performance or performers at the top of your paper. Important Considerations in writing your review Comment on aspects of music such as genre of music, performance forces used (instrumentation), texture, form, style periods represented, staging and costumes (when it applies), etc. In addition; make observations as to unique or unusual uses of music within the concert (rhythm, harmony, instrumentation, and so on). A good paper will start with an introduction which discusses the general details of the concert plus first impressions of the concert experience. Good information to mention here would be concert theme (if there is one), was it a student or professional ensemble or soloist, interesting program notes, etc. Follow the introduction with general observations about the performance. Did the performers make comments about the music during the performance? Did the comments add to the understanding and enjoyment of the concert. Were there any surprises? Special effects on an instrument or special instruments used? Then write in detail about one song or group of similar songs which were of particular interest to you. Talk about style, color (instruments), texture (monophonic, homophonic, or polyphonic), and form (verse/chorus, waltz song, etc.). Discuss the genre and era of the music. Did they perform any music or styles which were studied in this class? Were you able to hear the important ideas about the styles in the performance? Finally, write a conclusion about the concert. Mention personal observations about the concert. What was your overall impression? If this type of concert was new to you, would you go to another? Why? .

Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society to those in other parts of the world. Final Project Information Overview Your Final Project will be a medium-length essay in which you address the cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society and compare these to the perspectives toward death and dying in other parts the world. As the course content will point out, much about the Western response to death and dying amplifies the process of grief and bereavement, perhaps unnecessarily. In the West, death is something that is denied and, in many ways, is something that people seem ill-equipped to deal with once the event occurs or is imminent. Your job in this paper will be to put on your social scientist cap and offer “cultural solutions” to the way that death and dying is dealt with in Western society. Assignment Based on your own independent research in which you compare the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies to those in Eastern societies such as China, Vietnam, Japan, and so forth, write an essay that addresses the following points: Describe in detail the major differences between the Western viewpoint toward death and dying and those in these Eastern societies (you may focus on one country, such as China, or talk about Eastern societies more generally). Be sure to describe the rituals involved with the process of death and dying, the various technologies, or anything that helps explain these differences. Give one specific example of a famous case of death and dying in Western society that demonstrates some of the problems or dysfunctions of the Western viewpoint (examining cases in the media, for example, will be a great place to start!). Finally, conclude your final paper with a detailed commentary about what we can do to change the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies in a way that makes us less afraid of the dying process. Be very specific in your commentary. .

Your draft should establish and develop a single thesis [or controlling idea], develop in parts. You may also write from the earlier handout on an author you haven’t yet written about. Gandhi’s “Economic and Moral Progress” suggests that morality and economic prosperity do not go hand in hand. In fact, he argues, oftentimes, one loses one’s morality when one becomes wealthy. Do you agree with Gandhi? Does wealth correlate with immorality? Yes or no. Explain by referring to passages from the essay. Compare David Suzuki’s understanding of interdependence [interconnectedness] with Ricard and Thuan’s. Discuss the ways in which Gandhi supports his argument—first with historical examples, then with famous people, then by using the writing of a famous scientist. Is his essay more effective as he adds this type of support? Desmond Tutu describes South Africa’s decision to seek a middle path between two extremes. What are these extremes and what is this middle path? Is Tutu right in arguing for this road down the middle? Compare Desmond Tutu’s “middle path” with the teachings of Lao Tzu. Does Lao Tzu advocate a similar position? You might include other famous historical figures who’ve argued a similar position. David Suzuki’s “The Sacred Balance” appears to be in two parts: first, he identifies the problem in three parts, then he identifies the solution in three parts. What is the essential problem and what is Suzuki’s solution? Tom Shadyac’s film, “I Am” has a central thesis and advocates a certain solution. What is the basic thesis of the film and what is the solution or solution[s] he advocates? What’s the basic problem and what’s the answer? And how does he convince the audience of these truths? Kenzaburo Oe develops a very smart and very controversial thesis. What is his thesis and what exactly does he refer to in an attempt to develop, support that thesis. Kenzaburo Oe discusses the Great Flood [Noah] at the end of his essay and identifies something very troubling about the Western mind. What is this thing he is identifying here? How does it relate to the overall theme of the essay [man’s inhumanity to man]? Rachel Carson’s “Obligation to Endure” identifies large increases in human populations that create conditions in which insects and other forms of life must be controlled. Name a few of these patterns of behavior that cause an increase in the amount of insects among us. Identify Rachel Carson’s thesis and her solution. What’s the problem she outlines and what does she propose we do? How do Carson’s ideas seem to influence David Suzuki? Are they on to the same problems? How are they similar or different? Plato’s Gorgias is a discussion of the problem of rhetoric and the need for conversation. What is rhetoric, according to Plato, and why is it so dangerous? Does he convince the reader that discourse [words] can be used inappropriately and in dangerous ways? Discuss any of the questions that follow the readings [Understa.
