Describe the concert-viewing experience itself: Possible ideas: What was the environment like (the concert hall, the people, the stage, the musicians, etc.) Remember this is the first paragraph.

give the titles and composers of the pieces, as well as the names of the performers, and what each of them did (ie. What voice or instrument part).
discuss the music: Pick one piece that you particularly liked and describe it using the terms we discuss in class: rhythm, texture, and timbre. Be as specific as possible. The goal is for you to apply your knowledge of these terms to the piece that you choose as your topic, and to show me as clearly as possible that you understand these terms, and that you are able to apply them to a piece. Review the terms in your text, and use related terms as well (homophony, polyphony, monophony, rhythmic terms, etc.). Discuss the instrumentation of the piece as a whole and describe how various timbres were used in the composition. Also, discuss the dynamics (review terms such as forte, crescendo, etc.). Explain why you liked the piece. Again, be specific, and use the musical terms that you have learned.
Your last paragraph should be a conclusion: Summarize your most important points and conclude the paper (tell us what you said).
The concert you will be reporting is
