Re: Question on compositions

[Andrew Tyler <antylerdb yahoo com>]

Dear Lillian

 

The sources Don has given you are great starting places, and I would certainly recommend you go there first.

 

If you are in the Cambridge area, and still stuck with specific questions, I would be happy to discuss with you at a mutually agreeable time. Work tends to come to a cresendo at this time of year, but early in the new year, we could find the time.

 

Good luck!

 

Andrew

No, I'm afraid there isn't. Partly it's because there isn't just one
format, but that's kind of a cop-out. There certainly could be
something that explained the four or five most common sorts of ways of
presenting compositions. Best bet, I think, is looking at the
following books:

_Change Ringing_ by Wilfred Wilson

_A Handbook of Composition_ by John Leary

If you are associated with MIT, you'll easily find the former in the
Music Library. Otherwise I'm sure it'll be easy to get by
inter-library loan. The latter may be a bit more difficult to locate.
