Description

The report MUST contain the following (and, preferably, in this order). Please follow it exactly:

1. The title of the concert, the location of the concert, date and time of the concert, and a web address of an announcement of the concert. The web address can be from the artist(s) page, venue calendar, concert series calendar, etc. – the important thing is that there is clear evidence of the concert – 5 points.

2. A complete list of all musical pieces and composers/arrangers. (DO NOT LIST THE PERFORMERS, CHORUS MEMBERS OR THE ORCHESTRA MEMBERS) - you may copy this from the program and include it in list form (required even if the concert has no written program). Make sure it is a complete list – 15 points.

3. Describe the onstage arrangements of the orchestra, choir, performers, etc. If you attend an organ concert, describe the interior of the church. NOTE: If the orchestra is in the pit (i.e. a musical theater production), be sure to go down at intermission and look at the set-up---you will need to do this toward the end when the players are returning to their seats) –10 points. 4

4. A concise, full description of what you heard (talk about ALL of the individual musical pieces). Use specific information (terms, etc.) that you have learned from the course in your descriptions. For vocal concerts, be sure and read the translations and incorporate these into your descriptions. – 15 points.

5. Background information that you find on the internet about the composer(s) including THREE different citations. After you read the research material, rewrite it in your own words (or paraphrase). Any information that you cut and paste must be listed as a quotation, with correct punctuation. Only about 10% of this research material should be directly quoted. See below for tips regarding how to paraphrase. If the program includes multiple composers, pick three or four to research. It is not necessary to write about all of the composers. DO NOT WRITE ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR, PERFORMERS, CHORUS MEMBERS OR THE ORCHESTRA MEMBERS. Look this up ahead of time if possible, or while you are writing the report (DO NOT USE INFORMATION FROM THE PROGRAM!) Use at least THREE different citations or sources. If the concert was the music of a single composer, you must find three different citations to use in your discussion of the composer. COPY AND PASTE THE URL FROM THE WEBSITE WHERE YOU FOUND THE INFORMATION INTO THE REPORT. THE URL MUST APPEAR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ANY INFORMATION YOU USE FROM THE WEBSITE, NOT AT THE END OF THE REPORT. I must be able to verify your information by using the URL, so be sure it is complete. (NOTE: Plagiarism is the use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. In other words, using someone else’s material as your own is considered plagiarism and is a violation of the college academic honesty code. It will result in your failing the assignment.) – 20 points.

6. Write about a unique musical moment in the actual concert that caught your attention. Find something that you would ONLY KNOW BY BEING PRESENT AT THE CONCERT. This information should be something that you observed, not taken from the written program or the website advertising the concert. The more factual your information, the better. For example, someone made an unexpected announcement, something was added to the program, etc. This unique moment should prove that you were actually in attendance at the concert. Do not describe something too abstract. Find something that is objective and concrete – 15 points.

7. A full description of the final musical piece on the concert. This description must be substantially longer than any of your concise descriptions – 10 points

8. WRITING STYLE. Grammar, spelling, syntax, rhetoric and addressing all of the guidelines as listed above – 10 points.

Music Concert Report
Part I
On December 2nd, with a group of friends, we attended the Glendale Community
College Orchestra which was conducted by Dr. Paul Sherman and was featuring Gail Acosta, a
violin soloist. We ensured this concert was qualified for the report by messaging Dr. Gregory
Newton. The link to the concert is:
https://www.glendale.edu/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/30920/423.
Part II
The concert conducted by Paul Sherman was split into two segments. They continued to
play a few pieces before they had a quick intermission and then continued onto the second half
of the concert. The first part of the concert started with Johannes Brahms’ “Academic Festival
Overture, Op. 80.”“L’Inverno “Winter” which was composed by Anthony Vivaldi shortly
followed after Johannes Brahms’. The second part was listed like this:
Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 73 Johannes Brahms
Allegro non troppo
Adagio non troppo

SURNAME 2
Allegretto grazioso (Quasi Andantino). Presto ma non assai
Allegro con spirito
Part 3
Although the orchestra was small in size, it had a similar design and organization to
modern orchestras. Most of the instruments present were custom to modern orchestras although
there were neither percussion instruments nor keyboard instruments. The conductor was in the
middle of the front stage. The violins and violas were strategically located on the left side of the
conductor. On his right side were the cellos alongside the contrabass. On the left side of the
backstage were the tuba and French horns. The trombones and trumpets were situated on the
back right. The violins and violas on the other side were located on the conductor’s left side. The
oboes, bassoons, clarinets, and flutes were located in the back middle of the stage.
