Portfolio of compositions

Duncan, David Thomas (2009) Portfolio of compositions. MMus(R) thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

The four works which make up the portfolio demonstrate pieces of varying lengths and complexity, written for a range of contrasting ensembles. The pieces are included in chronological order, based upon their completion; in this way I hope to demonstrate how I have been able to experiment with different approaches to composition in the shorter pieces, and then develop these ideas in the piece As silent as a Mirror is Believed, which forms the bulk of the portfolio.
