DESCRIPTION
Develop your understanding of 20th/21st-century compositional techniques, and to apply them in your own original creative work throughout this module. Following a series of introductory exercises, a number of creative strategies are actively explored, including experimental notation, visualization and improvisation.
The module introduces you to a number of techniques with respect to pitch (linear/harmonic), rhythm, texture, instrumentation and scoring and then goes on to consider a range of structural methods as evidenced in music from the early 20th C onwards, (such as serialism, isorhythm, block form, process-based form). You are expected to implement a selected number of techniques in your own work, and evaluate the effectiveness of your approach.
Please be aware that students are expected to write music in Western notation.
