Composition

WRITING FOR STRINGS
Music for strings is the foundation of most orchestral and chamber music. In the
course we will look at both the historical development of string music, and aspects of
string technique. We will be joined by Darragh Morgan, the violinist in the Fidelio
Trio, who will be giving a concert during the school. Students will be invited to write a
piece for either solo violin, or violin and piano, which Darragh will then perform in the
composers’ concert later on in the week. As soon as students enrol they will be sent
a course handout.
