MUS 188 - Applied Composition

Individualized instruction in music composition. The student is responsible for composing a full-length composition over the course of the semester. Weekly lessons give the student and professor a chance to meet and discuss the progress of the composition. The nature, instrumentation, and length of the composition will be mutually agreed upon between the student and the professor at the beginning of the semester. Unless other methods are agreed upon, the final score of the composition will be notated using Sibelius, Finale, or some other comparable notation software. Every Spring, a concert of student compositions will be presented at Hope College giving student composers a chance to have their music performed and recorded. This course is designed to be a laboratory environment. All experience levels and styles of music are welcome and encouraged in this course.
