Additional Contemporary Procedures 2. The Compleat Canon This canon may e performed y an infinite numer of people, each voice entering at any time interval. Each voice determines the clef to e used and the durations of the individual notes. It is suggested that a maximum variety of rhythmic values and articulations e employed. The various canonic voices may imitate earlier voices freely or may ignore the others entirely. The pitch sequence may e read forards, ackards, upside-don, or upside-don and ackards. The canon is to e terminated hen a predetermined threshold of oredom is attained.. # # n # # # # # # # # # # # # # n. 3. Listen to, perform, and study such controlled-improv, open-form, "process" orks as Riley's "In C." Then compose a group-improv ork for the class, using this approach. Experiment ith varying degrees and methods of controlling various musical elements. Be sure to shape the piece in some ay. 4. Listen to and study one or more classic examples of "minimalism," including orks y Glass, Reich, Eno, and Adams. Write a piece, experimenting ith small musical cells, phase-shifting, drones, sutly-shifting consonant harmony and various color elements. Some controlled improv might e used. All or most of the piece may e pre-planned. Be sure to shape the ork. 60
