Study of Choral Composition and Arranging

The goal of this year-long Capstone is to go above and beyond the music curriculum offered at Ensworth in studying and applying various composers’ styles in choral music. I am spending the first semester conducting research into a wide range of composers in choral genres such as Gospel, Barbershop, Jazz Choir, and Contemporary A Capella. I will spend the second semester composing works aided by the composition techniques I learned from score analysis in the first semester. This Capstone will culminate with a final presentation and performance of my works on the Capstone Evening in May.
