Maarten Bauer Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hello! I think it would be great for the community if we do another collaborative project. The last project that I runned went pretty well, so here is the same set up: It sounds very interesting to me when we have a collaboration project in the form of Theme and Variations. For the ones who don't know what this form is: you compose one or more variations on a stated theme. A clear example is Mozart's Dodici variazioni su 'Ah, vous dirai-je Maman': How does it work? You can compose as many variations on the given theme as you want. There are a few rules / points: Only write for the saxophone quartet (SATB). Not all variations have to contain all instruments, so you can also compose a variation for, for instance, saxophone trio (S, A, B) or a solo passage. Make sure that the theme is recognizable or at least fragments of it. Every style is accepted: contemporary, classical, Pop, Jazz, minimal etc. Variations may not be longer than 2 minutes. When you have finished a variation, please post it in this topic with the following files. This namely saves a lot time for me to edit the final version. PDF file of the score and; Midi file and; MP3 file. You can be as creative as you want! DELIVER THE PARTS IN C (SO NO TRANSPOSING) This link will lead you to the previous collaboration topic: https://www.youngcomposers.com/t35393/string-quartet-variations-on-a-dutch-folk-song/ Theme ''Wilhelmus van Nassouwe'' Wilhelmus van Nassouwe.mp3 Wilhelmus van Nassouwe.pdf Wilhelmus van Nassouwe.mid If you are interested and want to compose a variation, please sign in for this project by answering yes in the poll above. Good luck!

Yes, I know. It is, however, not possible to have solely one answer, so that is why I called both answers yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
