Task: The task for Assignment 3 is to compose a piece for three woodwind instruments in mainly polyphonic style. The piece should be about 2 minutes long (between 32 and 40 bars if in 4/4 at a gentle tempo of q = 76 ).

Use the following formula: decide on a triad to begin the piece; place a second triad at a suitable distance away; put the final triad in place. Then fill in the lines between the fixed notes.

Check all the time that the relationship between the melodic lines is creating the kind of texture and overall sound you want.
