MP 2230 - Music Composition II
Credits: 3
In this sophomore-level composition and portfolio review course, students will be introduced to the craft of contemporary tonal and atonal composition, with three key areas of focus: pitch structures, rhythmic and metrical devices, and approaches to orchestration. Through the guided exploration of historical examples, in-class exercises, score study and analysis, discussion, and applied composition work, students will use the tools, techniques, and creative insights of key historical practitioners to create engaging original music and begin to develop their own individual style. A sophomore-level portfolio review will be conducted at the end of the course. Students must pass the portfolio review to pass the course, and to advance in the degree program.
Prerequisites: MP 1230 - Music Composition I and MP 2110 - Theories of Musical Practice II
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Apply tonal and atonal contemporary composition techniques governing pitch, rhythm, and orchestration toward the creation of original electronic or acoustic compositions.
- Justify composition decisions based on historical examples.
