Write the equivalent of a 2-3 page report giving a review of the concert you attended. Your review must include the following: What kind of listener were you at the concert? Why? What pieces were performed? If there are multiple movements (as described in the “instrumental music” section of the Classical Period), each must be analyzed separately. What was the style of each of the pieces performed? What was the instrumentation of the orchestra? Draw out the seating arrangement of the instruments in the orchestra. Analyze each piece played in the concert with the following criteria from the course: Unity & Variety Structure of the Music Purpose of the Music Tempo Volume Rhythm Melody Harmony Form Historical Period Did you enjoy the concert? Why or why not? What is the style period of the composition (Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern)? What are the traits in the music that make the style period most apparent? Is this piece an example of “absolute” or “program” music? How do you know? Are there any biographical concerns about the composer that are or might be relevant to this project, such as Beethoven’s hearing, or Mozart’s relationship to the Viennese court or his Freemason lodge)? Is there anything particular about the performance that you are viewing that would obviously have been different when the work was first performed? If your choice of music has a text, I have made certain that you have access to an English translation. Did you notice a relationship between the text and the way the composer writes the music? This would be relevant in an opera, oratorio, Mass, set of psalms, etc. You are looking for motivic devices (themes) that may be associated with a character, mood, time of year, etc.).
