MUS 105 Concert Report Instructions

 

Choose a recital or concert to watch on D2L. You must watch the concert in its entirety. Some links have the second part in the description, recitals must be at least 50 minutes long. 
You may choose to skip some pieces 
only if the recital is
 longer than an hour, but you must watch at least 50 minutes of it.

Cheating

You are expected to practice the highest possible standards of academic integrity. Any deviation from this expectation will result in a minimum academic penalty of your failing the assignment and will result in additional disciplinary measures including referring you to the Office of Academic Integrity. Violations of the University’s Honor Code include, but are not limited to improper citation of sources, using another student’s work, submitting a concert report for a concert you did not actually 

attend in full
, and any other form of academic misrepresentation.

Using any information from any source without a citation is plagiarism and will be reported and penalized as such. If you consult outside sources (including program notes) and use them in your report, you must include citations. This includes program notes of the concert, our textbook, Wikipedia, online articles, library sources, etc. Any citation format (MLA, Turabian, etc) is acceptable. You may include a word cited section in your conclusion section and it will not penalize your word count.

 

Grading

These assignments are graded on completeness and content. Thus, if you do not address a question or engage it seriously, you lose points. Your musical opinions, positive or negative, are completely valid, but should be expressed thoughtfully and in a professional tone. 
Comments such as “the concert was pretty legit” or “the soloist was hot” are inappropriate. Write in complete and legible sentences, proofread for correct grammar. Utilize musical vocabulary in describing each work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Concert Report

 

Question 1 (25 points total)

State the event you attended. Describe your expectations for the concert. Briefly describe the concert venue, atmosphere, and any other environmental factors that impressed upon you. Make sure to discuss the where, when, what you saw, and the list of the pieces that are on the program with their corresponding composers.

 

This should be no more than 250 words (exception will be made if there are many pieces on a program).


Rubric

Location (if unclear, mention what website you watched it on): 5 points

Time (if unclear, mention when you watched it): 5 points

Name of Recital: 5 points

Composers (those who wrote the music, not performers): 5 points

Titles of Works (these must be 
Italicized): 5 points

 

Question 2 (60 points total)

Discuss your observations for 
the first piece on the program and the last piece on the program. If any of those pieces involve movements, you must discuss 
each individual movement as well. You must use 
specific musical terminology as we have studied in the elements of music section of the class.

 

Keep in mind the following elements of music and categories:

 

Melody (contour: conjunct, disjunct, range: wide, narrow), Harmony (dissonant vs. consonant), Texture (monophonic, homophonic, polyphonic), Dynamics (
pianissimo, piano, mezzo piano, mezzo forte, fortissimo), Changes of Dynamics (
crescendo, diminuendo), Tempo (
adagio, andante, moderato, allegro, vivace, presto),  Change of Tempo (
accelerando
ritardando), Instrumentation (what performance forces are used?), Text setting (syllabic, neumatic, melismatic- 
text setting must have text, cannot use this category for instrumental music). Etc.

 

Word count must be within 350 – 600 words. No More, No Less.

Rubric:

Each piece is 30 points (60 points total)

 

Each piece 
must mention:

·
The title (
Italicized): 5 points each

·
Composer full name: 5 points

·
Musical era the piece was written in: 5 points (if unsure, make the most educational guess and write an argument to defend your point) – ex. Mozart was a Classical era composer. DO NOT WRITE 1756-1791 as the musical era.

· Your choice of 
musical elements from at least three different categories: 15 points (Foreign/Italian terms must be
 Italicized)

 

More helpful questions that might help guide your writing:

What musical period is this piece from (check the composer’s dates)? (Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, late Romantic, 20th century, etc.)

 

 What musical elements in this piece justify the musical period? (instrumentation, use of dynamics, tempo, genre, etc.)

 

 What dramatic effects does the piece have? What specific musical elements achieve that?

 

 Make sure you mention specific musical vocabulary instead of saying that the piece got faster, slower, higher, lower, etc.

 

 

Question 3 (15 points)

Conclude your report with your review of the experience. What is something you enjoyed about the performance or did not enjoy?

Minimum 50 words, maximum 250 words.

You may include a work cited section here as well which will not be counted towards the word count.

Rubric:

 

Honest thought out opinion: 15 points
