Assessment 1: Arranging for Ensemble Project
Complete a 3-4-minute arrangement of a work originally for piano, organ or guitar, or a work that exists only as an audio recording (i.e. has no printed score). The arrangement should be for an ensemble of between 4 and 6 players. It may be any genre you like, but you must write for instruments available in your class. You will then rehearse and direct the arrangement in an informal performance which will be scheduled in the weeks following the score submission.
Assessment Criteria
Assessors will look for:
Imaginative exploration of ensemble texture
Idiomatic writing for instruments and/or voices
Accuracy and attention to detail in the notation of a score and parts
Clear and confident leadership of an ensemble in performance
