Music Final Year Topic: Set-List Order and Energy Planning in a Student Concert

This Music final year project investigates how set-list order supports performers' intended contrasts across a programme. The proposed evidence comes from authorised set lists and consented adult performer or listener reflections, with the study limited to an agreed, feasible corpus or production setting.

Why choose this project topic?

The focus on how set-list order supports performers' intended contrasts across a programme connects a specific creative or cultural problem to evidence you can document. Using authorised set lists and consented adult performer or listener reflections keeps the work concrete and gives you a basis for comparing alternatives rather than relying only on personal preference.

What can the proposed study establish about how set-list order supports performers' intended contrasts across a programme?

Choose the specific corpus, venue or creative materials and agree the evaluation criteria for how set-list order supports performers' intended contrasts across a programme before starting.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the criteria needed to investigate how set-list order supports performers' intended contrasts across a programme.
  2. 02Document a bounded evidence set using authorised set lists and consented adult performer or listener reflections.
  3. 03Compare tempo, texture and transition plans without claiming a single emotional scale.

A suggested research approach

Confirm access, permissions and a manageable scope for authorised set lists and consented adult performer or listener reflections. Compare tempo, texture and transition plans without claiming a single emotional scale. Keep dated process notes and distinguish observations from interpretation. Obtain required approvals before involving people, venues or protected material; record unsuccessful trials as well as successful examples.

What you will need

  • Authorised access to authorised set lists and consented adult performer or listener reflections
  • A documentation and analysis plan for how set-list order supports performers' intended contrasts across a programme
  • Relevant equipment or editions, attribution records and required participant or site permissions

Keep your project scope clear

Reported energy is subjective and does not predict attendance or commercial reception.
