Composition students must arrange a public performance of an original composition. This involves preparation of the score, editing, finding performers, organizing rehearsals and arranging a performance date and venue. It may include performing, or conducting a group of performers. In second year the original composition will normally be short and involve one or two performers. In third and fourth years, compositions can be longer and for larger ensembles. Compositions may be used on the final graduation recital. For composition majors only.
