Composition Stage 1

Performance A​

Ai Portfolio – a substantial portfolio of compositions, normally 30-60 minutes in duration, negotiated with the specialist teacher and agreed through the online student record.

Submission Details​

Folio Content​

  • Electronic or electroacoustic works may be submitted as part of the portfolio.
  • Works for stage/screen may be submitted, providing appropriate documentation is included (e.g. audio-visual recordings).
  • Multimedia, other interdisciplinary, and conceptual works may be submitted (again, with appropriate documentation) as long as their artistic content is not assessed elsewhere on the programme.

Submission format​

  • An electronic copy of the portfolio (PDFs, recordings and where appropriate, audio/video weblinks) should be submitted to Moodle; all weblinks must be easily accessible for examiners and standard platforms should be utilised if required (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud etc.).
  • All submissions are expected to be submitted electronically (e.g. there is no requirement to produce a physical score). The candidate’s name/work should be clearly listed on all uploaded recordings (e.g. ComposerName_NameOfWork.wav), and be made available to download.
  • Any physical scores submitted should be bound and presented in a clear and legible format.
  • A contents page, and short, contextual commentary (or programme notes) should accompany the submission.

Formative submission​

An optional mid-term submission of one complete work (or near-complete work) may be made on Friday 15th December 2023, after which you will receive formative, written feedback from a member of staff from the Composition Department (within the normal marking turnaround time).
