An Arrangement for your ensemble, which must be submitted with candidate's entry.
Unit summary
When candidates enter for their Diploma, they must send three identical copies and one recording of an Arrangement that they have made for their ensemble that they will be directing in the exam. If candidates are instrumental directors, their Arrangement must be of one of the original piano works listed below. If candidates are choral directors,
their Arrangement must be of a folk song of your choice (see below). Candidates Arrangements must be authenticated as candidates own work by a declaration form.
The examiners will be looking for a sense of style and idiom, revealing
imagination in the use of colour and textural contrast, as well as the technical quality, practicality and musical success of the Arrangement and its general presentation.
The following must be submitted:
Score:
Only the full score (not the individual parts) must be submitted, in three identical photocopies. The score must:
* either be clearly and legibly handwritten in black ink or produced by a music processor programme. There is no advantage in submitting computer-generated scores rather than handwritten ones.
* be on good-quality paper of appropriate size with one part to each stave, or, where appropriate, two instruments/voices to a stave.
* be laid out in the manner which is commonly accepted for the relevant ensemble.
* follow all the usual and proper conventions for notation.
* show the parts for transposing instruments in the relevant transposed keys.
