Composer's Challenge - Running Late
🎼 How does a piece of music go from a blank sheet of paper to a finished performance? In this Composer's Challenge, I begin with just **three simple rules**: • Write in binary form. • Use every note of the scale. • Add dynamics and articulation. From there, you'll watch the entire creative process unfold—from the first sketch, through melody, harmony, countermelody, and revisions, all the way to the finished engraved score and a complete performance of **Running Late**. This isn't a polished lecture—it's a real composing session, complete with the decisions, revisions, and problem-solving that happen along the way. Whether you're a pianist, teacher, student, or aspiring composer, I hope this gives you a practical look inside the creative process and encourages you to write some music of your own. 🎹 Download your FREE copy of Running Late at: https://www.ivorystudios.ca If you enjoy videos like this, please like, subscribe, and leave a comment.
