Objectives By the end of the course, students should have a varied portfolio of compositions, including at least one major work, which reflects sufficient technical and creative skills, as well as a knowledge of the context and repertoire related to these original works, to operate as professional composers.
Synopsis Students are required to submit (a) a portfolio of compositions, including one significant work of major proportions (appropriate works could include a multimovement composition for a moderate to large orchestral ensemble, ie a symphony, concerto, opera, ballet or similar work) and (b) other compositions employing a variety of ensembles and instrumental combinations, and an accompanying paper of approximately 10,000 words giving descriptive, analytical and contextual information about the portfolio of compositions and drawing some conclusions on stylistic trends reflected in these compositions, as well as surveying the existing literature pertaining to these trends.
