Question

Concert Report For this assignment, you will need to plan ahead. You must attend a symphony orchestra concert, opera, or musical in order to complete it. As long as it is a symphony orchestra concert, opera, or a musical, any event is OK. If you go to a musical, try to find a "professional" rather than a "community" production. In any case, you must find a way to see the orchestra at some point in the performance (they are usually in the "pit"—and yes, that's what it's called...the pit). Your Assignment 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? 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 3-4 pieces played during the concert using the following criteria from the course: Unity & Variety Structure of the Music Purpose of the Music Tempo Volume Rhythm Melody Harmony Form Historical Period

Answer 1
