MUSC 337 Composition Practicum II

Expanding on MUSC 336, students are applying their skills on larger and more ambitious works in media or the performing arts, necessitating a deeper exploration of both compositional strategies to accommodate longer arcs while retaining cohesion, as well as more advanced and complex challenges regarding creative revisions, collaborative communication, technological integration, and similar. The course includes a recording session using live players towards the end of the semester, necessitating both the creation of performance materials to industry standards, communication of performance instructions under time pressure during the session, and integration of the recordings into the final version of the work after the conclusion of the session. This allows the students to experience a credible, simple simulation of current professional composition practice.
