'Match Fixing': Classical Repertoire Group, taught by Joris Roelofs
This course focuses on ways to incorporate elements from the works of great Classical composers (such as Scriabin, Beethoven, Richard Strauss, Guillaume de Machaut) in your own music. You will discover new things about form, harmony, melody or rhythm and find a tasteful way to apply the essence of these works in your own arrangements and/or compositions. Credits are only awarded if the assignments are completed within the given time frame.
Students bring in pieces which will be tried out during class. We will experiment with it and improvise on it, until it crystallizes into an arrangement.
