Concert Critique Report:
In order to really understand the concepts and Ideas of our text it is important to go out and experience live concerts. However, due to the time frame of our semester and the time of year, live concerts will be very difficult to attend. So I will be setting up You Tube video assignments to be completed. These videos will be linked on our E-Campus web page in separate Content Module “Online Report Drop Boxes.” I am requiring each of you to watch the entirety of these two concerts during the semester and write a 2 page report (no more, no less) about each concert.
Report Guidelines
Each report will be graded according to a rubric. Please make sure that your submission meets the following criteria.
Please review the grading rubric here: Concert Report Rubric
The report should be 2 pages in length, double spaced,
The report should use standard margins and a 12 point font, and a ONE-LINE HEADER.
The following information must be contained in the report: Ensemble name, location and time of event (if listed), instruments used, style of music, and works performed.
The report must contain AT LEAST FIVE VOCABULARY TERMS FROM OUR COURSE. This will show proficiency in applying those terms to a real-live concert situation.
Brief Historical content and significance of the musical work and/or Composer.
A grading rubric for these reports will be found in the E-Campus Drop Boxes where you turn them in.
The rest of the report should contain personal feedback from you about what you thought of the concert, maybe something you particularly liked or disliked or anything that struck you as interesting or even some questions that you may have. Please also provide time stamps for the thoughts that you have (for example: if you had something particular to say about a portion of music at the 32:00 mark, indicate that). I will expect to see at least one insight and thought from each of the different movements of the piece (both videos will be of longer orchestral works with multiple movements).
These reports can act as a little dialogue and discussion about music, which I feel is the best way to appreciate this art form.
USE MINIMAL INFORMATION FROM THE INTERNET! ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF YOUR PAPER SHOULD BE USED TO EXPLAIN HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SIGNIFICANCE.
