Musical Composition Assignment
This assignment requires you to write a musical composition.
It must be written for a specific instrument of your choice.
You may use any key or scale type except C major.
Try to use all intervals at least once.
Your composition should have two contrasting sections (A and B).
In the B section, you must modulate to another key or type of scale, and you must use a rhythmic modulation.
You may use some chromaticism.
If you wish, it is ok to use only the chords we studied.
Be creative and inventive.
Surprise me!
Above all, communicate your ideas on paper accurately.
Your composition must be at least 16 measures long.
It must be hand-written legibly with black or blue pen.
The assignment is due on Friday in my [Beken's] office before 5:00 pm (Schoenberg Music Building 2854).Nov 28, 2007 Homework #7
