ummm.... Minimalism is boring...it is very 'minimal' ummm Philip Glass is a Minimalist composer...'Einstein on the Beach' shows this absolute boringness in the exploration of music during the emergence of the style to the present day. the end. ps. I hate Minimalism. :)

mmmmm.... depends on what texts within the elective you are studying, see the 'Wilds' depicted in 'Blade Runner' and '1984' are significantly different to those depicted in 'An Imaginary Life' and Wordsworth's Poetry...etc. etc.

nah Piano is the hardest cos there are sooooo many people who play Piano for HSC performance, both 2U and Ext. so yeah...I've got my L.Mus in Viola and my A.Mus in Piano :) but I like composition much better...it's much more interesting than just doing performance after performance...so much...

yeah I felt heaps sorry for her...I couldn't think of anything worse than people clapping when you're not finished....

:S you serious? I couldn't think of anything worse...good luck bro!

heh...it's all a matter of opinion, and anyway Piano is like wayyyy more difficult to do well in :)

hahahahha!

It's the hardest instrument to do well in because so many people are pianist's, and let's face it...if you were an HSC marker and you listened to say 50 ppl play piano pieces...it would become really difficult to differentiate them. Basically you MUST stand out, so don't choose cliche pieces :D

uch I just hate Hindson with a passion, I went to his composition workshop last year and he just crapped on about how good he is...and I just hate his compositions...ALL of them...lol but cheers!

....what's funny? lol

ummm so you mean your additional topic is Baroque, since Bach is a Baroque period composer??

I just did my Ext Music assessment, I had to hand in my composition portfolio to date etc. generally there are two internal assessments a year for Ext, both are 50%. But some schools do things differently. I'd say for you, you'd have to perform your works...and then perform them again later in...

Oi! Excellent repertoire! And umm anything in 2U Core must have an Australian Focus...hence the topic title 'Music of the Last 25 years Australian Focus', but..the weird thing is there are a lot of immigrant composers who are considered Australian Composers...so I suppose if you just get your...

oh sweet an ext. flautist...what pieces are you performing?

hahaha no it's not a performing arts high...but it's like the 7th best private school in Australia blah blah (don't judge me...lol) I have a scholarship..otherwise I'd never be able to afford to go there, so of course they HAVE to have a recording studio. Ummm crap...my Extension journal is due...

sorry to throw a spanner in the works and all, but seriously most of the pieces that have been suggested will not be marked well. They've all be overdone, especially for Piano. Piano is the hardest instrument to do well in for the HSC (sorry to burst ya bubble) I'm doing both Piano and Viola and...

sweet! I'm the only person doing Music 2 at my school too...I'm heaps lucky cos my teacher knows what he's doing and what he's talking about...lol, I've studied a lot of Edwards, Vine, Sculthorpe, Hopkins and anything Australian from the Meet the Music concert series 2003 and this year...

oi...I think I'm gonna go to that Musica Viva thingy...are you gonna go??? Carl Vine is a huge compositional hero for me lmfao (as sad as that sounds) he really is awesome. I'm the only person doing Music at my school now since it has become too hard for the other 4 people *sigh*...they ALL...

A lot of people just use the computer composition software 'Sibelius' and then record it onto a CD, that'd be the easiest thing to do, but I don't personally wanna do that...I'll only resort to that if I'm struggling for time and it's the very last option. I'm gonna get professionals to play my...

as a wannabe composer I thought the best two compositions were 'Caprice for Oboe and Strings' by the girl from Kambala... mainly because I love Impressionism, ummm and 'Tango Subio' by the MLC girl...yeah...umm most of the performances were awesome as always, the Taiko drums rocked! and the Erhu...
