What are you guys doing for your compositions?

<< < (4/7) > >>

galeface:
Ahh I agree!
Yeah it's pretty easy, but literally you could make up a composition and the examiners wouldn't have a clue (not that I'd be game enough to though lol). Yeah I did a religion 3/4 this year so I'm pretty top notch at bullshitting :P
Yeah that's a good idea, like an easy 1 or 2 just to get into the swing of it and then a tough one with 3 plays at the end.
It's really interpretive this subject, I was talking to another girl in my class about it today and it's just so hard to know where you stand with it?

xoxogossipgirl:
yep. i'm ranked one for SACs (albeit out of a class of about 5) but i'm scared about this exam.. i have no idea how i'll go. somewhere between 20 and 40 would be my rough estimate for my SS! haha
it'll probably either be my 6th, or one of my best. which is so weird..
some past excerpts for section A are so strange, gawd =| i just want at least one really good jazz one and a very typical Classical one and i should be okay. the non-western ones - who knows..

galeface:
Yeah, my teacher's happy with my progress, like I've been doing really well on the sacs as well but I guess just getting into the exam. I remember doing the 06 exam and there was that really weird excerpt that was this woman making weird tounge sounds. If we get one like that I'm so screwed.
Hopefully we get a choir one - I've been in choirs since year 3 so that's pretty much my thang :P
I'm aiming for at least mid 30s for my ss but I guess it just rests on the excerpts...well, that and actually writing fast enough to finish!
I agree - non western and death will occur :P

Killerkob:
Ahahaha! I absolutely loathe the tongue clucking and guttural vocal interpretations of vocalists. "How does the vocalist ensure interest in the song?" *shudder*
I remember an african woman in one was just doing vocal drum patterns o.O
And another consisted of a buddhist rock group that sung wailing as their lyrics.

If I don't sleep tonight, I won't have to wake up for tomorrow's exam.

galeface:
Yeah, that was the one! :) The vocal drum patterns, and it was like 'Discuss rhythm and instrumentation'. Like, seriously.
Favourite though was the mongolian rock-folk group who used traditional instruments in conjunction with guitar and drum kit. Like, who thinks of that?!
I'd love to know how they pick these excerpts, like does the examiner have a kickass iTunes collection? :P

Yeah, I may just sleep early so I can wake up extra early and wait outside my teacher's office and bug him for a few hours. Just an option.
