Review a previous live concert you have attended. The concert MUST be a symphonic work, operatic
work, or musical. School concerts will not count unless the student concert is from EPCC or UTEP, and
you may not do a report on a concert you were involved in if you are a musician yourself.
If you have not attended a live concert of this capacity, then you may do a concert report on one of the
following works we have studied in the slides (right click to open in a separate tab):
Allegri: Miserere Mei Deus
Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3

As far as what to write, it's very simple. First, format your report in MLA style and include the following:
Paragraph I: Name the piece(s), performers, venue, and date the concert was performed.
Paragraph II: Provide a brief researched overview of the piece(s), when the piece(s) was written and why
or for whom or for what occasion, etc.
Paragraph III: Try to incorporate as much class vocabulary as possible. I understand you can't use all the
vocabulary so try to at least include some terms and concepts.
Paragraph IV: Describe the concert going experience (in this case just the experience), the music, the
instrumentation, each movement, and your personal overall reaction.
