Composition 2 FCA512
Introduction
Composition 2 is the second semester of postgraduate study of the technical and expressive skills for music composition. By this stage, you will have completed a folio of projects designed to establish writing skills and compositional craft, and therefore established the development of your voice through the handling of instrumentation, pitch, rhythm, harmonic language and formal concepts. Through continuing to work with composers and instrumentalists on more self-directed projects, you will compose a variety of pieces for instrumental combinations which balance and contrast with those composed in FCA511. To achieve this you will interact with ensembles, study new works, and further develop your knowledge of writing and analytical skills to continue to build a portfolio of compositions.
