Composition
DUE: Friday 10th February (all students will have a one-to-one over the next two weeks)

Complete your Allegro sonata form movement to at least the following specification. It should all be appropriate orchestrated. Please label each section clearly with post-its

Exposition

• First subject (in tonic)
• Tonic filler (continuing straight on)
• Transition (pivot chord to dominant ending on V OF the dominant)
• Second subject (as first subject but adapted)
• Codetta (we will look at these on Monday 6th so wait until then to start this)

Development
Should at least do the following but may be expanded:

• Start in dominant
• Move to one of the relative minors
• Circle of fifths
• Dominant pedal of home key

Recapitulation (you should past in the first subject but it is up to you whether you go any further than this)

Extensions: you may rework the second subject to include in the recapitulation, finish the piece off with a coda, start with a slow introduction.

Composition

1. Compile your work so far into one file as follows. Have an orchestral score as in the tonic filler exercise and put the string quartet material in the strings, with the cello part also copied into the double bass part so they play the same:

• First subject: 16-bar compound period theme (improved as necessary)
• 1st subj. continuation: Allegro Tonic Filler
• Transition:  you need to write this (see below)
• Second subject: for the moment we are going Haydn so just transpose your first subject 16-bar idea up or down into the dominant
• Development fragments

2. Transition

Your transition should use the following chord sequence from the Haydn – the V6/I6 is a pivot.

Tonic:          I vi(6) V6

Dominant:              I6   vii6 I

Then do what you like in the new key for a few bars before landing on the dominant pedal for four or more bars. You should use similar procedures for doing harmonies over the pedal as before (see composition page on alevelmusic.com).

Remember to use secondary chords as discussed on the notes on composition page.

Symphony
Please revise for a test next WEDNESDAY 1st on Haydn First movement and related listening (lots of stuff to help on Moodle)

Musicals
Please read and take private notes on 125-140 of the study guide.

Composition

1. Please make corrections to your Allegro tonic filler and resubmit in the original submission. Add a new file and don’t delete your old one so I can easily tell that you have done it. Please add ‘corrected’ to the end of the file name.
2. Write a 16-bar theme (ending on I at the beginning of the 17th bar) for string quartet in the same key, time signature and tempo as your last homework. It needs to be as follows:
   • 4-bar theme (include simple, triadic and scalic ideas which will work well for development)
   • 4-bar idea that ends on I-V imperfect cadence
   • Exact repeat of 4-bar theme
   • Adapt bars 5-8 so that they end on a PERFECT cadence (use ii6 or a cadential 6/4 as well). The perfect cadence will land on the beginning of the next bar (bar 17)

Symphony Homework

Look at pages 16-18 of the development.

• Identify thematic ideas and motifs from the exposition

Identify the closely related keys at

• 124-6
• 127-140 (beware chromaticism at bar 136)

Identify the NON closely related key at 145

Identify three keys in 150-155 and the overall harmonic device
