Assignment: Concert Review

Each student will be required to attend at least one concert during the semester and write a review. The concert should be a minimum of 40 minutes long and can be of any style of music. It can be an online concert/link but you must watch one I provide or ask about one you want to observe. The review should answer and address the following questions:

I. Who is the group, ensemble, or person giving the concert? If the concert is a recital, what school or group is hosting the recital?

II. What was the date and time of the concert?

III. Why did you choose to attend this particular concert?

IV. What type of venue was the concert given in?

V. In terms of what you heard, what was your favorite part of the concert?

VI. In terms of what you heard, what was your least favorite part of the concert?

VII. Pick out three songs or moments and share what you believe the composer and performer were trying to express. What gave you these impressions? Use the terminology used in class, focusing on the music, not the lyrics.

VIII. What feelings or message do you feel the music was trying to evoke?

IX. What style of music was performed and is there a composer that we have studied that you can compare the music to?

In your review, use the appropriate "MR HIGS" criteria (melody, rhythm, harmony, instruments, growth, and style) to answer questions 7, 8, and 9.
