Composition I
Course Number:
MUS00014I
Course Description:
Intended as an introduction to contemporary composition, the aim of this module is to address some of its fundamental issues. With particular reference to later twentieth and twenty-first century practices, the module develops a vocabulary of compositional techniques through the study of a range of works. Students will build up a portfolio of exercises that concentrate on line/melody; rhythm; texture and harmony as a preparation for their larger-scale ensemble piece.
Presentation is through lectures, workshops, analysis and tutorials. The class exercises form the basis of workshops in which all will also take part as performers: instruments must therefore be at hand. All students must be equipped with manuscript paper, pencil and a ruler.
