You are to craft a composition. It is to have a standard form (ABAB, ABBA):
VERSE
->PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB - optional
->CHORUS - optional
VERSE
->PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB - optional
CHORUS
VERSE
->PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB - optional
->CHORUS - optional
BRIDGE
->SOLO / INSTRUMENTAL BREAK - optional
CODA / OUTRO
AD LIB (OFTEN IN CODA / OUTRO)
For a potential overall level 4 you are:
1) to have lyrics, tips for rhyming patterns
2) to have submitted the music in standard notation,
3) to have sent an electronic recording to me at <james . mcintyre @ o c d s b .c a>
4) performed the piece live (singing is optional)
You need not sing the music yourself, and you can invite other musicians to help you with your piece both on the live performance and the recorded performance. In the end you must have a written copy of the music, with lyrics underneath submitted to me as well as an electronic recording. This composition will be worth more than its predecessors in the blues unit since it is the culmination of theory for the course. This will be a major part of your mark so ensure that you take time to do a good job on it.
