Copy Work Turned In
Last weekend I visited the renowned composer and educator, Joseph Kreines to present my first batch of copy work for him.
Within Finale, I completed a piano score and parts for Kreines' transcription of Edward Elgar's Nimrod from Enigma Variations for an accompanied soloist, along with an original piece containing 6 movements of Scottish Folk Songs for String Orchestra.
Here is a link to download the PDFs of the scores I created:
The Great News!
After taking a look at my work, Mr. Kreines offered me a very large scale transcription project that will probably take months to complete. He asked me to use his notes within the original score to transcribe the first 3 movements of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 from symphony orchestra to wind band. Around 45 minutes long, creating a transcription Tchaik 5 is a much grander endeavor than what this independent study is designed to be.
After discussion with my professor, Pat Pagano, I've decided to only create a recording (using various VSTs within Logic) of a portion of the first movement of the symphony. This recording will utilize much of the original music along with some of my own additions to fulfill the "Digital Arts and Sciences" aspect of this independent study. More updates on this exciting development soon!
