About this arrangement

Small Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.972028 Composed by Keir C Crawley. 20th Century,Children,Contemporary,Instructional. Score and parts. 61 pages. Keir C Crawley #4764635. Published by Keir C Crawley (A0.972028). ‘Blueshift’ is the continuation of a number of ideas and experiences, the first of which is the need to compose exciting and challenging music for the classroom. This piece attempts to put the Key Stage 2 or 3 budding musician into the musical world of film scores and minimalism albeit minimalism with a small ‘m’. Combining moto perpetuo with contextually more adventurous accompanying harmony my aim is to move the musical learning away from the sometimes twee and undemanding into something with a little more musical bite. As such ‘Blueshift’ should be playable by students from Year 4 or 5 upwards, either in its entirety as written live or to a backing track. The title comes from the idea that as light (in this case the light of the Andromeda Galaxy) approaches a fixed point it shifts towards the blue end of the spectrum. For the purposes of both story telling and a cross-curricular link to science ‘Blueshift’ charts the journey of the Andromeda Galaxy (represented by the ever present 5-8 ostinato) towards our own Milky Way Galaxy and what happens on route.
