Glendale Community College Spring by Vivaldi Concert Report

I’m working on a songwriting report and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Writing a concert report involves first listening to a concert of online “classical” music.

You will be surprised at the variety of concerts: orchestral music, choral music, and chamber music from several historical periods. The format for writing a concert report is quite specific. Reports should not be longer than the equivalent to two pages if printed out.

1. List the name of the group, the conductor, and the title and composer for each piece performed.

1. List each INSTRUMENT used in the concert.

1. List each piece performed by HISTORICAL PERIOD. You will find this information somewhere in the program, usually by checking each composer’s dates. (Middle Ages: 450-1450, Renaissance: 1450-1600, Baroque: 1600-1750, Classical: 1750-1820, Romantic: 1820-1900, 20thCentury: 1900-1999, 21stCentury: 2000-today.)

1. Pick one composition on the program. IN YOUR OWN WORDS, DISCUSS

THE MUSIC YOU ARE HEARING. THINK ABOUT THE MUSICAL

TERMS AND CONCEPTS YOU HAVE LEARNED IN CLASS THIS

SEMESTER AND APPLY AS MANY OF THEM AS ARE APPROPRIATE.

(Think in terms of specifics. What type of composition is it? Is it program music or absolute music, or an example of musical nationalism? What about tempo, dynamic variety, instruments used, melodic complexity, consonance or dissonance level, etc.?)
