music

all of this is stuff i've written for school that had to follow prompts and exam specifications and such, but hopefully i'll write some stuff for myself one day.

i play flute and piccolo at an advanced level, and bassoon and viola at an intermediate level. i also have and dabble in playing the following instruments: oboe, clarinet, tin whistles in 4 different keys, fife, 2 recorders, six-keyed english flageolet, B-flat band flute, mandolin, ukulele, and piano.

currently i play the bassoon in a wind band and orchestra at my university town, and i used to play viola in a string group there too. i also used to play flute, piccolo, viola, and bassoon in various youth/junior orchestras and wind bands in my home county.

2020-2021

for a standard string quintet, plus a double bass. written in a ABC structure, with the viola having the tune at the beginning because i am a viola player :)

supposed to be incidental music for a play about the industrial revolution, according to the exam specifications.

2018-2019

ternary thing

as the name suggests, it's in a ABA ternary form, written for an orchestra. the cover art is for the calmer B section, which is a bassoon duet, with string accompaniment. i imagined section B to be like waking up in a field of flowers as the dew drops sparkled in the rising sun. no idea what's going on with the A sections, sorry. i know that the second A section is faster because i had to make it fit within 5 minutes for the exam board specifications lol.

literally was named by going to a word generator and getting two random words. this one didn't have to fit any exam specifications. it's written for flute, bassoon (which i both play), and clarinet. you'll want to turn the volume right up at the beginning for this one, and then right down as it gets progressively louder (and faster!!)
