Abstract
The basis of this composition is a portfolio of six original compositions with
and analysis of each. All compositions have been composed under the title
‘Music from other Worlds’. These works range from small ensembles of just
four instruments, to a large orchestral piece. The instruments used are greatly
varied in each composition. Each work brings the listener into a new world
created by a combination of different texture, timbres, subject matter, styles,
and compositional techniques. This portfolio provided a constitution of the
development of the compositional skills and styles first learnt in the
undergraduate programme.
