Written Concert Reports

/in /by

  • Find FIVE YouTube videos of LIVE performances
  • These MUST be by 5 different composers that we are studying in the respective half of the semester and AT LEAST ONE from each period.
  • The pieces CANNOT be the same the piece(s) studied in class. The Composer bios in your book list other important works by each composer these pieces are your best options.
  • BEFORE you write your report, find your videos and email me the titles and links. I will approve the list you send and this will count as your “program” then write your report.
  • FORMAT of the YouTube video “program” follow these guidelines for title and composer information and include the clickable link centered under the composer information. https://www.pugetsound.edu/academics/departments-and-programs/undergraduate/music/for-current-students/recitals/instrumental-style-guide/

Try to still talk about the musical elements we have learned in class and how the modern techniques maybe utilize some of these things!)

Think of this as a longer discussion board. Watch each of the performances, make notes about what you notice and then talk about what you can of the music. It is a report on these performances not a researched paper. You can write more stream of consciousness.
