SKYLAR CHU THE LAST WATCH
Kellett School Hong Kong
The Last Watch was the composition that grabbed the attention of our composition judge and led to Skylar being awarded the COBIS 2026 Young Composer of the Year!
"A beautiful exploration of musical storytelling! The opening is reminiscent of Alan Silvestri's film score ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’, it sets up a harmonic, rhythmic and melodic soundscape that prepares the listener for what is to come later in the piece."

"An excellent way of telling a story through music! The harmony is particularly effective and perfectly fits the mood of the text in the beginning of the composition."

"A great use of timbral exploration! The harmony is clearly outlined before the vocal melody enters, preparing the listener and welcoming them into the soundscape laid out."
