How do you write program notes?

Program notes typically start with a heading that includes the full title with appropriate keys, numbers, opus numbers, and catalog numbers, date of composition, the composer's full name and dates, movements or song titles to be performed, names of instrumentalists/vocalist performing.

What makes good program notes?

A good set of program notes will do two essential things: 1) Give the audience a sense of the work's history. Traditionally, notes include the facts of a work's creation: the dates of composition and first performance, and where and by whom it was first performed.

What is the purpose of program notes?

Program notes serve two purposes: to provide historical and background information on the piece and, if necessary, the composer, and to give the audience some sense of what to expect, and what possibly what to listen for, when listening to the work.
