Seminar in Composition: Chamber Ensembles and Electronics

Catalog description

This seminar explores the ins-and-outs of writing for small ensemble and electronics. Students explore each instrument, pertinent repertoire and musical examples; compose a piece for an ensemble-in-residence; premiere works in a concert setting; and have works recorded by the ensemble. Through interactions with the ensemble-in-residence, compositions will be developed in three stages: early semester brainstorming; mid semester reading; dress rehearsals before the final concert.
