Announcement board and write a report based on the instructions below: Writing Format and Instructions (All papers must be submitted in PDF format): MUL2010 VIRTUAL CONCERT REPORT GUIDELINES & RUBRIC Points Possible 1.Section/Paragraph One: Note the virtual concert you chose to view for this assignment. Be sure to include the following: • Performer's or ensemble's name, date, and location Performance Medium (such as piano recital, orchestral concert, opera, symphony concert, etc.) . 5 2.Section/Paragraph Two: Make a table with three columns listing all pieces in the order they were played (include any encores as well). Column 1: Composition Title Column 2: Composer's full name followed by birth and death year in parenthesis. The composer is not always the performer. The composer writes the music; the performer is who is executing it. Column 3: Composition Style (musical era). This should correspond to the dates when the compositions were written and the musical era during which the composer lived. For this class, the style periods are as follows: Medieval (450-1450) Renaissance (1450-1600) Baroque (1600-1750) Classical (1750-1820) Romantic (1820-1900) 20th Century Orchestral Music (1900-present day) Example of Paragraph Two Column: Composition Title Composer (birth year - death year) Composition Style (Musical Era) The Erlking Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Romantic Symphony No. 40 I. Allegro II. Adagio III. Presto IV. Prestissimo W. A. Mozart (1756-1791) Classical Rhapsody in Blue George Gershwin (1898-1937) 20th century Orchestral music Continue until you have listed all compositions performed in the concert being viewed. 25 3.Section/Paragraph Three: Write a description of each individual song or instrumental piece performed. If you view a concert with 20 songs being sung, list all 20 and describe each, including the performer(s). If you view an orchestral concert with a symphony containing four movements as one of the works, list and describe each movement of the symphony individually. A few descriptive qualities to analyze include: Describe what each instrument is doing throughout each performance as the piece or movement is playing. Who has the melody, who has the accompaniment and when? Does it change? Imagine you are narrating a basketball or soccer game over the radio but the melody is like the ball. If you use descriptive words and colors let me know which specific instrument is contributing to that feeling or mood. The "Orchestra" is a collection of many instruments and they do not always play at the same time so avoid generalizing instruments by only saying "orchestra" unless the full orchestra is playing at the same time. Do this for each movement of each song. This is a listening exercise and the main part of the course. For full credit, writing should be clear and eloquent, with no significant errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. Be sure to organize this section with an efficient and appropriate listing of music performed (in other words, do not group 20 song descriptions into one large paragraph). 80 4. Section/Paragraph Four: Describe the concert environment. Include the following: A description of the physical layout of the performance hall or venue. Be sure to include the audience seating or standing in relation to the performers. The clothing of the performers. Describe what people are wearing. If the men and women have slightly different clothing, note that information. The clothing and behavior of the audience members (if visible in the video). Was this a casual outdoor concert on lawn, a grand amphitheater, etc.? Be descriptive. 10 5. Section/Paragraph Five: Write a paragraph describing your general reaction to the concert. Be sure to include: Insight about your own experience going to concerts and whether you enjoyed your selected concert. Would you have liked to have been a member of the audience instead of being a "virtual" viewer? Was the concert what you expected? What was your reaction to the music performed? 10 *Students who plagiarize or use reports from other sources will receive a grade of "0." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5plwCvBOpzs&t=1s this is the concert i choose MLA Format 3 Pages NOTE: We are at that time of the semester where you should have a better understanding on how to listen to music from various periods, the instruments in the orchestra and you will start learning about how to talk about them. Here are the links for the Virtual Concerts. You do not have to start now but this project will be available all semester for you to work on. The more you learn throughout the course, the easier it will be to describe this music. If you have any problems with the availability of any of these concerts please let me know right away. You can submit this project as many times as you need until the deadline. The instructions are on D2L Assessments tab under Assignments All 5 section must be completed in order to be accepted. Incomplete projects will be sent back with a zero until it is revised Make sure to check for revisions after you turn this project in. If you have a zero for a grade, that means you need to revise something. Please check the feedback comment box for instructions. Revisions are due by the due date so do not attempt to do this project at the last minute. Give yourself time to submit, check for revisions and get those in before the deadline. For the Operas you must include every song, not just one line for the entire work. Operas have multiple musical numbers and they all have tittles that can be easily found and described for the project even though it is just one composer. For the Symphonies make sure to list all the movements on section 2 and describe each movement as an individual paragraph in section 3 Section 4 and 5 are in ESSAY format, no lists or bullet points will be accepted (just like discussions) Since the operas are longer works (anywhere between 30 to 80 songs) I will give extra credit to whomever wants to tackle one of the 2 operas below. But remember ALL of the songs need to be describe one by one or it is incomplete. You can email me for the links to the operas if you are brave enough to tackle one.
