Brief 1 – Bach Chorale
Add alto, tenor and bass parts to complete the following TWO chorales in the style of J S
Bach’s many harmonisations for performance in a Lutheran church service.
You must complete both chorales.
The tempo for both chorales is set at 60 crotchet (quarter note) beats per minute.
This amounts to two minutes for a performance of the two chorales. An allowance of
five seconds for each chorale has been made for some small variations in tempo in live
performance, but no extra time has been allowed for pauses.
The submission for this brief is calculated to be two minutes 10 seconds (2' 10") in length
of time, counting towards the minimum total of six minutes required for Component 2
overall. Timings for this brief cannot be altered.
