Writing Homework Help

1)Why did you choose this particular video?

2) Provide some context (will likely require a bit of research – USE CITATIONS) over either the artist, the piece of music as a whole, or a particular movement/track/song. For example, if you choose Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique, look up why Berlioz wrote the piece and what the story behind the music is. If you choose the music of Charles Mingus, provide a brief explanation of who Charles Mingus was.

3) For each of the movements/tracks/songs, write a paragraph describing your thoughts/comments to the music. What stands out to you in this section and how does it differ from the others?  Make it clear to my grader that you watched the entirety of the concert.

4) What are some things this video exposed to you for the first time? Consider instruments, performance techniques, concert etiquette, style of music, etc.

5) What are some questions you have that arose while watching the video? Provide at least two.
