Task: The task in Assignment 2 is to compose a piece for a solo woodwind instrument of your choice, to last about 1½ to 2 minutes.

Choose the instrument you feel is best suited to the ideas you have for a solo piece. The piece should respect the range of the instrument, and take advantage of its particular characteristics.


The piece can be written in any scale you choose. You may want to use one form of the scale as the ‘home’ version, and one or more transpositions to provide colour contrast in the central sections of the melodic composition
