Music of the Week: Music by 21st Century Composers

The music of the week features compositions by grades six and seven students from Norquay School. These compositions were created with ModPlug Tracker. They are all in ritornello form - A B A' C A'' D A'''  - and they are created as program music. Program music is so-called because it relies on a 'program' (an expanatory text or narrative) to explain its non-musical associations. Program music tells a story, depicts a scene, or re-creates a mood. The opposite of program music is absolute music.
