Final Composition
This was my last lesson to work on my composition- I finished quite a lot in school and for homework all I had to was some tweaking and adjusting. I am quite pleased with my composition, as I have managed to compose a piece from my own creativity which is very different from the original but it is still portrayed as an expedient audio piece for it. To continue on from last time, after adding the reverb transition and pulsating cycles, the listeners meet the most dramatic part of the composition. A mixture of bells and chimes are played for a spooky yet magical affect- as when this is played, it is the scene showing the witches and wizards of Diagon Alley. This is played in the dynamic of forte to have the appearance of dominance over the wizarding world. It's powerfully joint with sharp notes of the brass but contrasting delicate atmosphere of the choir. With a long drone of the lower octave E, a powerful and intense melody of the violin join in to intensify the mood. There is a repeated addition of the chamber choir and brass- however the brass uses a different rhythm but keeps the same notes. This is met with the staccato playings of the cello- for a lower and rich sound as part of the strings family. The ending is one of my favourite parts of the entire composition. It ends with choral tension vox pad met with sharp brass playing- that lead the composition on with suspense. The use of silence before the end keeps the listener waiting and on the edge of their seat. In conclusion, my favourite part of this project was the music structure- I loved organised which instruments went where and how to arrange it. However, for next time, I will ensure to learn how to include crescendos and decrescendos in my compositions from GarageBand. From this project, I have definitely ameliorated my skills of music structure- it was quite challenging for this composition, but I have managed it reasonably well.
This is the video of my final outcome in addition to the Indian Mission Impossible I did before:
You have demonstrated Criteria B, Developing Skills, quite perfectly. You have demonstrated acquisition and development all throughout your reflections and recorded your process evidently. When it comes to Criteria C, Thinking Creatively, your creative vision was blatantly showcased in your blog for both your composition and arrangement. The way you brought out culture into it was very creative. Also, for Criteria D, Responding, you have transferred your learning and applied your knowledge exceptionally to her composition.

I think Asli has said it quite well... 2 great pieces of work, both of which you should be very proud of. Well done!
