write concert report
The essay on musical style in performance is based on your required attendance at one concert of Western classical music during the second half of the semester. Since there are currently no concerts being performed, you will “attend” one online, full-length concert from the list provided below. You will write a two-page essay (standard margin, double spaced) on the music that is programmed at the concert.
Choose ONE work from the concert and follow these steps:
1. Identify the type (vocal, instrumental, program, absolute) and the style period (example: Baroque or Classical, etc.). Where possible, draw comparisons to music of other styles.
2. Summarize the features of the type and the style period in your own words.
3. Describe two musical elements, such as dynamics, tone color, tempo, etc, as you heard them used in the piece.
4. Discuss the effect of these elements on your listening experience and mood. 5. Discuss how the piece fits the context of its type and style period.
