Tips
Think about the instruments and type of sound they had in the cultural music we explored.
Make the rhythm interesting by including more than one note type or a rest.
How did you use these elements?
What was your intention when you chose these elements?
Describe how the element conveyed a mood or a picture you had in mind while composing?
Remember that some instruments overpower others so you may need to change your ostinato so that it fits and sounds great when its layered with other instruments.
Congratulations!
You now have your very own ostinato rhythm composition and two performances to add to your music portfolio!!
Well Done!!
(O'Brien & Miles, 1998)
