Course summary
The required compositions listed below must be written and accepted as satisfactory by the advisory committee. It is assumed that the student will take into account the practical aspects of performance to the extent that readings of the composition are feasible. If a composition is not approved by the advisory committee, it may be revised and resubmitted, or a second work in the same category may be submitted. Scores for each composition must be deposited to satisfy the candidate's dissertation requirement. The following three compositions will serve to satisfy the candidate's dissertation requirement: (1) an extended work of major proportions for orchestra or instrumental ensemble (903 or 904, six semester hours); (2) either a major work for chorus and orchestra, a short opera, an extended operatic scene, or an accompanied Mass (903 or 904, six semester hours); (3) a chamber music composition (903 or 904, six semester hours). The candidate must also present a public lecture-recital at which he/she presents a formal paper discussing and analyzing his/her own compositions.
