Composition Task 2

Cross Rhythms, Moto Perpetuo, Repetition

Expand your composition from Task 1 to be 1 minute, incorporating Cross Rhythms, Moto Perpetuo, and repetition.

Step 1

In your rhythmic cell Sibelius project, create cross-rhythms between two layers/instruments.

Create rhythmic cells of different lengths (eg. 2 bars, 4 bars, 8 bars, 3 beats), or use the ones you have already created in Task 1, and repeat them.

Step 2

Add a 'moto perpetuo' layer, featuring continuous semiquaver or quaver movement, using the same pitch set as you used in Task 1.

Record your composition and upload to EverNote.
