Full marks A-level free composition | What Does It Mean To Love? | By Tristan Ng | Score follower
I’m uploading this bang on results day. This composition scored full marks, and helped bagged me an A* in music 🥳 This is my A-level free composition, an exploration of closeness and intimacy through the intertwining and development of two motifs: A, a 4 note, conjunct ascending motif (and its horizontal expression as a cluster chord), and B, a series of 4th or 5th leaps in sequence, as well as the use of pairing in the ensemble. The piece explores several facets of loving and knowing one another: tentative hesitance, roiling anger, piercing grief, and finally peaceful contentment. Written for String orchestra (4.4.4.4.2) and SATB saxophone quartet. This audio is straight out of MuseScore, so the saxophone sounds are far from perfect, but it will do.
