This course examines larger forms, extended tonality, and atonal and serial techniques. Students compose for small chamber ensemble. Additional assignments include composing pieces for various media that make use of compositional techniques studied in class. During their coursework, the students are encouraged to explore a wide variety of musical styles. Works are recorded; the best pieces are performed in a public concert at the end of the semester.
