Example of a CORRECT Concert Report (no portion of this
may be copied in part or whole):
1. Huxford Symphony Orchestra, October 27.
2. Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. Emotionally, this
piece of music was very sad due to being in a minor key. I
think it would fit well at a funeral. The piece began with a
very andante tempo and piano dynamic (which never really
changed during the piece).
3. “Main Theme” from Star Wars by John Williams. This
work was VERY exciting with a very triumphant
emotion/character. The tempo remained fairly steady (a
tempo) throughout. The dynamics, however, started forte,
then alternated between forte and piano until the piece
ended (with noticeable crescendos and decrescendos
connecting those sections).
4. The large orchestra primarily had instruments from the
string family, but I also saw brass, woodwinds, and
percussion (including timpani!) The violinists seemed like
they enjoyed performing and the tall conductor, though
very serious, obviously loved getting to conduct this
concert.
5. Overall, I liked the concert. It had a few slower moments
but was mostly intriguing! I might not listen to this music
in my car, but I wouldn't mind listening to it while studying
attending another live concert!
Example of an INCORRECT Concert Report:
1. The UA orchestra concert
2. Adagio for string by Barber. The music was boring but it
had a nice tempo. Dynamics were present during the
performance of this song
3. Music from Star Wars. I've heard this in a movie before
which is cool. Definitely made me feel some kind of way
lol! Dynamics were real strong and crescendos real
focused. I really liked the variety of notes I heard.
4. I think I saw some drums in the band and some violins (of a
few sizes). the musicians looked bored but one at the front
was kind of cute. The composer only waved his hands but
never played an instrument...really weird.
5. Yeah, the concert wasn't bad I guess

J. R. Speake, conductor
$500 commission from Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, did work begin in earnest.
Neither music nor choreography followed a straight path. Graham repeatedly
altered her scenarios before arriving at a "moment of Pennsylvania spring when
there was a garden eastward in Eden'," celebrated by a newly married couple,
a revivalist with his flock, and a pioneering woman." Copland, meanwhile, took
some two years to complete his score. Following an acclaimed October 30, 1944
premiere at the Library of Congress, the ballet earned for Copland the 1945 Pulit-
zer Prize and remains an American favorite. Tonight's performance is of the suite
for 13-member chamber orchestra, one of five extant versions of the piece.
