Serialism composition

GCSE Music Coursework piece - a composition reminiscent of Serialism.

I'm going to say straight away that I understand that this is going to be very few people's cups of tea - but the idea of expressionism and serialism really interested me so I decided to do a coursework piece on it rather than something like Ternary Form or Musicals.

If you don't have anything constructive to say about the piece then please don't.

@mikeyj1993

When I was doing GCSE it was under the section of Expressionism, but I think I was on the Edexcell board. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be so long as you know a small amount about serialism and how to put the same line of notes together in different ways, etc.

My music teacher was an absolute genius and he helped me a lot in terms of figuring out a structure, but yeah, if youre interested you should go for it, though Im not sure how it would fit into your sections. :/

serialism is suppost to sound like shite lol but it sounds like it will get a good grade doing my music writing and listening gcse test tomorrow

[richardlessen]

Yeah, Ive got my exam tomorrow. If Im lucky I might just scrape an A.

And yeah, this piece gave me the highest mark out of all my coursework :P

@TehCacti You have great fantasy (Iwon'tsleepatnight)

[Themadhatter800]

I love this type of music so much thank you for putting this up.

Like you said, this probably isn't many people's cup of tea, but when used correctly it doesn't sound that bad. I quite like your piece. I also did music for GCSE, and I reckon I was on Edexcell too.
