a music concert review

    April 21, 2024

A concert review, please following the instructions below: The concert is Fiddler on the Roof in Concert (check more for the information for below photos) Please do not plagiarize and do not use any AI tools for this analysis. Cite the source you used. Very important!!!!!!!!!!! Your review will be graded on how well it addresses the following content: Basic Information (2 points) What is the concert? (i.e., who is performing?) What was the date, time, and location of the performance? Description of the Performance Space (24 points) What is the approximate size of the performance space? (Give just a general description with some reference to number of seats or some other way to give a sense of the space.) Where are the performers located in the space? (Please draw a simple diagram if you think that would help you better answer this question.) How many audience members are there, and where is the audience located in the space? Where are you located in the space? Describe the design and decoration of the space. Try to give a vivid picture of what you see with the assumption that your reader has never been to this location. Why do you think the concert organizers chose this space for the performance? Description of Musical Style (30 points) Choose at least three pieces or movements from the performance—you must write about the first and last piece, and then choose one or more from the middle of the performance. For each piece, give a detailed description of the musical style as you listen to it using terms from class, including tempo, dynamics, melody, rhythm, and so on. In other words, you will provide a running commentary of what you are hearing. Why do you think they played this particular music and played it in the order they did? A note about outside sources: This section is asking you to describe your observations—i.e., I’m asking you to SHRMG (in the end of the doc) three pieces. I am not interested in your ability to find information about the works online and paraphrase/quote from them. At the same time, our perception of musical style can be influenced by contextual information that comes into the live music experience. For example, in many classical music concerts, you will receive “program notes” that describe the pieces you are about to hear. While this section should focus on your own observations, if you refer to external sources such as program notes, please be sure to paraphrase, and to cite it correctly. You may use the common citation system of your choice (e.g., APA, Chicago), but be consistent. If you assemble the description primarily from external sources, improperly cite (or do not cite) sources, or are otherwise found responsible for academic dishonesty, you will earn 0 points on the assignment. Description of Interaction (24 points) How did the musicians interact with one another during the performance? How did the musicians interact with the audience during the performance? How did the audience interact with the performers during the performance? Do you think the types of interactions you observed were appropriate? How or why did you know it was or wasn’t appropriate? Please provide specific examples in your response. Reflection on Your Observations (20 points) Based on all your observations, what do you think the concert organizers were trying to accomplish with this performance? What was the purpose of the performance? Draw on specific examples from your descriptions above for evidence. As a member of the audience, do you think the performers successfully achieved their goal? Use your observations about space, musical style, and interaction from this review to explain your answer. Prose Format The review should be typed in standard essay format at 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins. No credit will be given for hand-written reports and reviews submitted in question/response format, with numbered responses, or that are otherwise difficult to navigate as a reader will have a minimum of 5 points deducted from the total. Please note that this assignment is not a “report”—I am not asking you to research pieces or look into performer/composer biographies. As outlined in the rubric below, the content of the essay should be based on your observation, utilizing skills and knowledge you’ve developed this semester. Although it is assumed that your concert review is your own perspective, you may use first person (“I”) if you need to. Otherwise, your concert review is like any other academic writing and should be professional in format and tone. Your review should be around 4-5 pages. Your name should go at the upper right-hand side, single-spaced with the date of the viewing. No other title or cover page is necessary—just move straight into the text. Use basic music vocabulary wherever possible. For example, describe the “tempo,” rather than the “speed.” Use quotation marks, italics, or underlining to set off a title, e.g., the aria “Voi che sapete che cosa è amor” in the opera The Marriage of Figaro.
