Description	Through a series of lectures and intensive 1-to-1 tutorials, students will be guided in the creation of an original large-scale composition. Whilst personal aesthetic convictions are respected, a willingness to expand one's awareness and a desire for creative investigation are also expected. Completed works will be workshoped and assessed during the summer exam period, at which time students will be required to play through each another’s compositions. Students will also contribute regularly to personal Progress Diaries, in order to reflect on the development of their work, articulate both technical and aesthetic challenges and share solutions and other music with fellow students.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: compose original works of music for larger ensemble, demonstrating a high level of technical competence and creativity. demonstrate proficiency in addressing the unique challenges of composing for larger instrumental forces, particularly in relation to orchestration and large-scale structures. to produce accurate and practically presented large-ensemble performance materials, including scores and parts to communicate their ideas concerning large-ensemble composition with confidence and clarity through written critical self-reflection and musical notation
