AoSF: Into the Twenty-first Century: Adès and Beamish
How is music changing in the here and now? Tackle this tricky but stimulating area of study with meticulous bar-by-bar analysis of works by contemporary composers Adès and Beamish. Short activities throughout encourage individual thought or group discussion on the analysis, and an abundance of exam-style questions per set work will ensure your students are prepared for questions on these little-studied, but greatly admired, pieces.
“Well-written… The analysis is very thorough and detailed… There is certainly a high level of subject knowledge and excellent articulation of the requirements of the spec… The resource provides a very good approach to the works.
