Tromba Lontana ▪ Melody ▪ Note addition! (Additive melody) ▪ Definition

Composition ▪ Compose a duet for two trumpets ▪ Choose 5 or 6 pitches only and use them in your duet. Start with only one or two pitches ▪ You should include: – Long and short notes – Additive melodies – Melodies which add more notes as they develop – Antiphony ▪ Hints – The best compositions use some melodic development. How could you develop your musical material? – Like your minimalist compositions, less is more! Use two or three simple rhythmic ideas and see if you can develop them and extend them
