I'm uploading a few of my assignments for CMPO 102. To whit: Piecemeal, Pudelnass and Das Sumpfgebiet

So because it seemed like a good idea at the time, I did a Steve Reich-ing of John Key's comments about sacking Richard Worth. It took maybe twenty minutes. [Some time later] It's really quite funny that this piece is now a memorial to one of John Key's lies. Because, of course, Mr. Worth did not resign, and Mr. Key did sack him.

CMPO101 major assignment completed - 3 minute piece for violin, sistrum and lever harp, using far too many quarter tones

Ventilation Suite: I completed - first part of a suite for vibraphone, viola and violoncello

Memoir of Flight - drone based electroacoustic piece

Electroacoustic piece - Atalica - using harp samples, working on some other vaguely similar pieces

...they venture... finished at last and handed in, although I'm still not entirely happy with it. There may be a reworking at some point.

Started a couple of sketches for a new piece for cat and harp - experimenting with alternative notation methods for this

Three pieces for violin, woodblock and lever harp. Doing my best to make the lever harp parts lacking in levers - but pretty muc completely impossible to play on a pedal harp. The first piece (complete) is certainly impossible for pedals. Dance! is approximately half-way done. Sing! is only starting out.

Slightly more real composition that 101, but still pretty much the same format, a series of slightly more involved exercises and one major composition.

Mostly not real composition, a series of exercises, and one "major" composition, which I wrote for violin, sistrum and harp.

A suite for vibraphone, viola and violoncello.

A suite of reasonably difficult, sonically bright pieces for harp. Planned to have 5-6 movements, two completed so far: "Gerald and the Ferrets" and "The Owlrange"

Three compositions. "Convolutions" for four players with music stands and pencils; "The Unwelcome Guest" for clarinet, harp, percussion, violin and cello; "...they venture..." for four violins, flute, cello and piano.

Settings of poems from Otto Ernst's "Siebzig Gedichte" (Those who understand German will probably suspect that I won't do ALL of them). Two completed so far: "Der Einsame"; "Die Geister von Aenglistal"

Arrangements/recompositions of Carolan tunes for two harps. Completed: "Mrs Judge"; "Si Bheag Si Mhor"; "The South Wind"; "Betty MacNiell"

This is ostensibly finished at three movements, although I've been thinking of filling it out with a couple more at some point. "Limpid" is a bright suite for flute, clarinet, oboe, horn and piano, using modal, contrapuntal and jazz influences.
