Write a report based on a video recording of a concert of Western classical music or jazz following the instructions here

/in /by

General Instructions: Write a report based on a video recording of a concert of Western classical music or jazz following the instructions here. Concerts must be at least one hour in length. You must get instructor approval for your concert before you begin working on a report. Once your concert has been approved, you can post it to the Approved Concerts discussion on Canvas for extra credit. If you want to write about a concert posted to the Approved Concerts discussion, you are welcome to do so without seeking my approval.

 

This report should demonstrate how much your critical listening skills have developed since your first unit paper. Use SHMRG and other class terminology when appropriate. Use 3-4 pieces and describe them have the pieces bolded.

 

Concert Report Formatting: Papers should be double-spaced and typed in a legible font.

 

Concert Report Content: In the first paragraph, provide basic concert information: where it took place, when it took place, the names of the performers/conductors involved, and a list of the compositions performed. Please note that you do not need to list the name of every performer in an ensemble; just the name of the ensemble will do.

 

After this introductory paragraph, choose 2-3 pieces of music from the concert and discuss each one according to the phases of critical listening. In other words, for each of your chosen pieces, provide objective descriptions of the work’s sounds (including SHMRG and other class terminology where appropriate), a detailed examination of your subjective reactions to the music (including emotional, physical, and intellectual reactions), and then provide a critical analysis of each work (in which you explain your hypothesis about what the work is trying to accomplish and why it is the way that it is, including evidence to support your analysis).

 

Finally, wrap up your report with a one-paragraph conclusion in which you present your general impressions of the concert experience. Here is the same information in outline form:

 

I. Introduction (1 paragraph): basic concert info (where, when, who, what compositions were performed)

 

II. Main Body, part 1:

 

A. Objective description of your first chosen work (including course terminology)

 

B. Subjective reactions from your first chosen work

 

C. Critical analysis of your first chosen work

 

III. Main Body, part 2:

 

A. Objective description of your second chosen work (including course terminology)

 

B. Subjective reactions from your second chosen work

 

C. Critical analysis of your second chosen work

 

IV. Main Body, part 3: (if you’re writing about three works; same as above)

 

V. Conclusion (1 paragraph): general impressions of the concert

 

Grading: I will be grading your concert reports according to the following criteria:

 

Is your report at least 1,000 words long? If not, you will lose at least 10%.

Did you follow the formatting requirements?

Did you include detailed and accurate objective descriptions of 2-3 works?

Did you use course terminology accurately and effectively when appropriate?

Did you include detailed and thoughtful subjective reactions to 2-3 works?

Did you include carefully considered critical analyses of 2-3 works?
