The Faculty Board of Music give notice that, with effect from the examination to be held in 2004, the form of the examinations for the Music Tripos for Parts IB and II will be changed as follows:
The examination will be a four-hour written examination. Candidates will be required to answer two questions from a choice of four.
The examination for Paper 11 will consist of a written paper of two hours' duration together with the submission of
| (i) | a transcription of recorded music whose total duration shall be no longer than three minutes, chosen by the candidate and approved by the Teaching Committee of the Faculty Board, and |
| (ii) | an essay of not more than 1,500 words (excluding bibliography and appendices), comprising an analytical study of the transcription. |
For the transcription exercise, candidates must submit details of their proposed piece or pieces of music (title or titles and a short description, together with a note of the total duration and a reference to the recorded source or sources) to the Course Co-ordinator not later than the division of the Lent Term; this music need not be related to the subject prescribed for the written paper. The transcription and the essay shall be submitted to the Chairman of Examiners, together with a recording of the music transcribed, not later than the eighth day of the Full Easter Term in which the examination is to be held. Candidates are required to sign a declaration that the transcription or essay is his or her own work, unaided except as may be specified in the declaration, and that it does not contain material that has already been used to any substantial extent for a comparable purpose.
A candidate for Part II shall offer six papers in all: these shall include at least one and not more than three from Papers 1-4, providing that no candidate may offer in combination Papers 2, 3, and 4 and at least two from the additional papers prescribed by the Faculty Board. At least two of the papers must be from among those examined by three-hour written examination.
Candidates will be required to submit a portfolio of three compositions. One of the compositions should be a setting of words, and one should include fugal elements and/or incorporate the techniques of ground bass and/or chaconne. One piece should be for orchestra (with or without voices) or ensemble of no fewer than ten players. One piece should be no shorter than eight minutes in duration. Normal staff notation will usually be expected, but electro-acoustic submissions are also acceptable. In addition, each candidate must submit a recording of at least one of the three pieces.
Candidates will be required to submit three essays involving the use of analytical techniques, to a maximum total length of 10,000 words (excluding bibliography and appendices, but including footnotes). In the case of submissions involving substantial non-verbal elements (e.g. Schenkerian graphs) the total number of words may be reduced accordingly. Candidates will be required to submit brief abstracts of the essays to the Chairman of Examiners, countersigned by the supervisor concerned, outlining the nature of the three projects.
Candidates are required to submit three projects involving the study of notations and of original source material from the Western art music tradition, to a maximum total length of 6,000 words in addition to transcriptions. There is no limitation of the type of material to be studied, nor is there any requirement for the three projects to deal with different types of notation or source or type of music. It is intended that candidates confront and find ways of handling issues thrown up by specific notations and/or types of source: the portfolio should therefore contain transcriptions and accompanying notes, in which the nature of the issues and ways of dealing with them are explained. If necessary, the portfolio may include recorded examples.
Candidates are advised that it is possible to take this paper as well as a written notation paper in Part II, provided that the portfolio projects do not coincide with the repertories dealt with in any written notation paper. Candidates will be required to submit brief abstracts of the three projects to the Chairman of Examiners, countersigned by the supervisor concerned, outlining the nature of and source material for each of the three projects.
The examination for this paper will consist of two elements, (i) a test of performance and (ii) the submission of an essay.
