Music 2 Comp. (1 Viewer)

[ekdownie]

hey.
im so stressed out atm.
i've just been given this composition assessment.
and its to do with music of the last 25 years.
firstly i know what form, and instrumentation im going to use.
well, i kinda think i do.
but then i dont know what aspects from the last 25 years to add and incorporate with my writing.
this is my first composition for music2.
im not excactly sure of the standards and expectations.
i know it has to go for between 1 - 2 minutes.

please. please. please.
be willing to help me out!

cheers

You should check out compositions by contemporary Australian composers like Matthew Hindson, Peter Sculthorpe, Ross Edwards (and etc.. the list goes on! lol) at the AMC (Australian Music Library). They've got heaps of resources which can give you some ideas for your composition, especially for the topic that your doing.

As far as I know there's not one exact site you can sit down and listen to those compositions, but they're totally right about AMC - you can also get your school to call them up and order scores to be purchased or borrowed so you can gain some ideas off them [these scores generally come with uber handy cds!]
Good luck and Carpe diem.

i think this is your major composition which you hand in to BOS in september for marking. if not, it's pretty much identical: based on Music of the last 25 years (australian focus) and max 2 mins...
