Full program notes

We will be using elements of classical pieces to base our compositions off of. Our process will consist of picking 4 or so pieces that we love, and then taking maybe the scale, meter, or a few quotes from the piece to build our own original compositions off of. We will be sending each other voice memos of ideas to play off of, and having 3 rehearals before this performance to come up with the structures of what we will play.
