In this course students develop their musical imagination beyond the material of MUSC 260–360. The goal is to acquire the necessary skills--including orchestration, development of material, part writing, and controlling textural density--to communicate musical thoughts and ideas. Students collaborate throughout the semester with a chamber ensemble of the Sewanee Symphony Orchestra, culminating in a public concert of original musical works. This course may be repeated three times for credit. Prerequisite: MUSC 360.
