Music Project ( Due 6 May 2018)

Instructions: Write a very short piece in 12-tone (serial) form. Your piece must contain a valid tone row and at least two elaborations of the tone row. Possible elaborations are inversion, retrograde, retrograde inversion, combining chunks of the tone row into chords, augmentation/diminution, etc. You can choose the musical forces, but I recommend 3 instruments or a piano and one additional instrument. Try to vary the rhythms and use rests, repeated notes, etc. 4 measures of music should be enough to complete the assignment—make every note count. In addition to your musical example, please turn in a couple of short sentences describing how you structured the piece. 

 

Follow the instruction and make it good
