Project Description This portfolio of original compositions would be the culmination of the research undertaken by the candidate in which he/she would have composed several pieces of music all research-informed through the different strands available in the department. The candidate would be expected to carry out original research in composition, but also in the field of contemporary religious writings and practice to get a full understanding of liturgical and sacred platforms in the twenty-first century. The final portfolio would not only be expected to show an original creative mind, but also to show how these compositions fit into a contemporary religious framework. The topic of contemporary sacred choral music has a strong research ethos at the Department of Music with colleagues working in this field in composition, musicology and performance. The department has a reputation as a centre for the dissemination of contemporary sacred choral music with practitioners working at the highest level. The School of Language, Literature, Music and Visual Culture has a lively postgraduate community. Postgraduate students are offered a comprehensive programme of research skills training. Funding Notes This project is funded by a University of Aberdeen Elphinstone Scholarship. An Elphinstone Scholarship covers the cost of tuition fees, whether Home, EU or Overseas.
