Composer Callout
The Norwich 2040 LCEP are looking for a composer aged 16 – 30 to create a song to be an integral part of a city wide music project following on from the success of their previous projects, FigurineItOut and Postcard Poems
The song will be performed live at a performance by school children in June, then with further opportunities for the song to be promoted online and alongside a city wide exhibition of the second iteration of FigurineItOut and Postcard Poems
The Brief:
Taking inspiration from existing Poems created by school children (these will be provided by the LCEP) we are looking for a City Voices song containing 3 verses, a repeated chorus and two bridge sections (this should be an inclusive bridge section, e.g rap, body percussion) and lasting for a duration of 3 – 3 ½ minutes. The song should combine unison sections with sections that are in multiple parts.This would be written with children’s voices in mind should reflect themes of celebration and consider that children will be learning it. The composer will work closely with the LCEP members throughout the process with the end product being a backing track with the chorus containing lyrics from the pre-selected poems. The song would need to be completed by the 14th May.
Fee for the successful applicant: £750 inclusive of all taxes and expenses.
