| description | The portfolio of original compositions, orchestration project and explication are presented here as a partially integrated whole. While Summer Nights In Between for clarinet, alto saxophone, bass clarinet, double bass and piano is presented as an independent work, the song cycle for soprano and piano, Songs of Light and Loss, on five poems from Fiona Zerbst's “In Praise of Hotel Rooms,” was subsequently orchestrated as part of the creative project, together with an explication of the considerations which influenced the choices made in the latter process. Brief explanations of the compositional and stylistic aim of each of the songs lead to discussions of how this was translated from piano to orchestra. Analyses of orchestration and instrumentation detail the use of timbre and texture in conveying the mood and meaning of the poetic text. |
