Writing the Report
Begin your report with these required elements:
• When/Where did the concert take place? How long did it last?
• How many pieces were performed? What were they called and how many movements were in each? Who composed each piece?
• Who were the performers (name of ensemble and/or soloists)? If there was a conductor, what was his/her name? What were the names of the principal performers?
• What types of instruments were played and/or what types of voice parts were featured?
• Was there any special purpose or theme for the concert? If so, explain.
The next section of your report should describe in some detail each of the pieces performed. For multi-movement works, do this for each movement. To the extent it’s possible, use terms and concepts covered in this course curriculum. This summary list may help.
• Genre (e.g., symphony, concerto, string quartet, etc.)
• Stylistic period (e.g., classical, baroque, etc.)
• Mood (e.g., emotion conveyed by the music/performers)
• Pitch To what extent does pitch vary throughout the piece? How do changes in pitch reflect changes in mood?
• Rhythm (e.g., beat, accent, tempo, meter, syncopation) How were these elements of rhythm used to create “special” or interesting musical effects?
• Dynamics (e.g., level of sound) Identify changes in dynamics and discuss the effect these changes create.
• Tone Color (e.g., bright, brassy, warm, ringing, hollow, etc.)
• Mode (e.g. major, minor)
• Harmony/Melody Discuss the balance (or lack of it) between the melody and its “accompaniment.” Did you hear consonance, dissonance, or a combination of both?
• Motives/Themes Identify and note where individual motives and themes are first introduced and subsequently reappear in each piece.
• Texture (e.g., monophony, homophony, polyphony, etc.)
• Form (e.g., sonata form, ABA, theme and variations, etc.)
As part of your description of each piece, it’s appropriate to include one or more of these elements:
• Using musical terminology and concepts covered in the course curriculum, identify and discuss the most interesting musical elements/features of the pieces that were performed.
• Compare the pieces from this performance with other compositions you’ve encountered elsewhere, noting similarities and differences. In selecting the composition to compare, you may want to look for a piece by the same composer, from the same style period, or of the same genre as the piece(s) from the performance.
• If applicable, describe how this concert compares to other performances you’ve attended?
Finally, summarize your experience, perhaps including these or other elements:
• What is your general reaction to the music? Is it what you expected? What was your general reaction to the concert? How did the performance sound to you? Was the music performed well? (e.g., Were the musicians rhythmically “together”; were they playing/singing in tune; did any instruments/voices stick out? How would you rate the musicians’ technical ability and the “energy” of their performance? Did the musicians seem well prepared for the concert?)
• Describe the behavior of the performers and the audience. What, if any, interaction occurred between the two? Based on your experience, what kind of behavioral expectations did the performers and audience members bring to the concert? How were these expectations satisfied or frustrated?
• Which composition did you like best? Why? (e.g., what specifically did you like about the piece itself or the way it was performed?)
• Which composition did you like least? Why?
• Did any of the compositions trigger an emotional response from you? What were your specific feelings or thoughts in response to the music?
• Is this type of concert experience new to you? How do you think that might influence your perceptions of what you heard and observed?
• What makes a performance an artistic event?
