ARTS 4390 - Composition Seminar


This seminar builds on skills acquired in the Music and Sound sequence. Through a series of exercises, students investigate sound as a medium for artistic expression while addressing the basics of orchestration, notation, and the development of musical and sonic ideas. Acoustic, electronic, and non-traditional contemporary approaches to composition will be explored, including performance, intermedia, and sound installation. The course culminates in a final composition project to be performed in an end of semester concert.
