After you do that, you must write a 1000-minimum word essay, describing the experience. The easiest way to conceptually approach a concert report is to imagine that you’re describing the event to someone who is not at all familiar with the music or the performers. So, in addition to recounting the concert setting – the venue, ambiance, the performers & instrumentation, and the audience, you must also describe what the music sounded like – this is the core of your report:
You must describe in detail, five of the songs performed, with a paragraph of around 150 words for each song. This can include describing the general character of each song (melody, rhythm, tempo, texture, emotional content, etc., in your own words as it seems appropriate), and most importantly, how the song unfolds from beginning to end – this can include notable moments or shifts in mood and character, and interesting musical exchanges and dialogues between musicians.
Aside from perhaps a few sentences telling me who the performers are, I’m not interested in additional biographical information concerning the musicians, or historical information pertaining to the songs performed. Your concert report should be written entirely in your own words – there’s no need to quote from outside sources.
Please address the following points:
• Date and venue of the performance.
• Names of performers (the name of the band and/or the names of individual performers for small ensembles)
• Ensemble type and/or instruments being played (list each instrument for small ensembles of 6 musicians or less)
• Briefly describe the ambiance and/or decor of the venue.
• Briefly describe the audience.
• Identify the style of jazz performed.
• Identify the titles of the pieces/songs that you discuss (including composer’s names only if possible/relevant).
• Describe in detail, five of the songs/pieces performed, with a paragraph of around 150 words for each song. This is the most important part of your concert report, and it should comprise at least 750 words. Be specific as possible, utilizing vocabulary and musical terms from the course if possible. Make observations on:
• the general character of each song – melody, rhythm, texture, and timbre (melody, rhythm, tempo, texture, emotional content, etc., in your own words as it seems appropriate).
• how the song/piece unfolds from beginning to end – this can include notable moments or shifts in mood and character, and interesting musical exchanges and dialogues between musicians.
• In conclusion, sum up your experience. Did the music communicate to you on a deeper emotional or psychological level? Why, or why not? Was there a particular performer (or performers) who you really connected with – why? Did the information you learned in class impact your experience?
