    Guidance

    Choose a composition brief, and then choose a stimulus from one of the following options to use as a
    starting point for your composition:
    1. Note pattern
    2. Note pattern
    3. Rhythmic phrase
    4. Rhythmic phrase
    5. A short story
    6. An image
    7. A set of words
    8. A chord sequence

    You will find that some of the stimuli are better suited to certain Areas of Study and there are some
    restrictions on which stimuli you can use with some of the briefs.

    Where relevant, the stimulus may be transposed.

    Your composition can be for any appropriate combination of instruments and/or voices.

    You may need to provide some additional information, particularly for Area of Study 4, to make sure
    that the moderator has a clear idea of your intentions for the composition.

    Choose one of the following composition briefs:

    Area of Study 2: The Concerto Through Time

    • Choose either one of the note patterns or one of the rhythmic phrases and create one
    of the following:
    ○○ a piece for a solo instrument with a continuo accompaniment
    ○○ a piece for a solo instrument with a piano accompaniment
    ○○ a piece for a solo instrument with a small ensemble to accompany.
    The composition should be suitable to play at a school music festival.

    Area of Study 3: Rhythms of the World

    • Choose one of the given stimuli and create a piece in a world music style that you are
    familiar with. If your piece is in a style that is not from one of the areas of study then
    please provide some supporting information. Your piece should be suitable to play at
    the opening of an international sporting event.

    Area of Study 4: Film Music

    • Create a short scene based on the image or the short story and create a descriptive
    piece to accompany it. Alternatively you may use one of the other stimuli and create
    your own scene and create a descriptive piece to accompany it. (Relevant supporting
    information must be provided, detailing your scene.) Your piece will be played as part of
    a young composers competition.

    Area of Study 5: Conventions of Pop

    • Create a popular song that might be played at a shopping centre as people are busy
    moving in and out of the shops. You may use any of the stimuli and your piece may be a
    ballad, a rock song or any other appropriate popular style.

    The stars are bright in the moonlit sky,


    The fact that you love me, I don’t know why.
    These moments are precious with you by my side,
    Let’s stay together as through life we glide.
