Gemma Longhurst Composition - If You Only Knew

SA choral composition written to commemorate the centenary World War One. The piece was premiered at the Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate in Belgium, and later performed by Sydenham School's madrigal group at London's Royal Festival Hall

In Flanders Fields, Gemma Longhurst

Contemporary composition scored for flute, violin, cello and piano. This piece was the outcome of a compositional systems assignment. It gets its name, 'Literary Fugue', as each of the 4 main melodies have been constructed from the letters from quotes taken from literary writers; William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, and Mary Shelley. These themes are then varied through my use of inversion, augmentation, diminution and probation canon, in the way a fugue would be. These techniques, along with the syncopation and dissonance which are produced by the system, also add to the contemporary feel.
