Research and creation of a new musical score for opera / oratorio developed in collaboration between Royal Northern College of Music (for the composer

该奖学金旨在解决以文本为主导的当代管弦乐和歌剧音乐的关键挑战之一：在同样成就的作曲家和诗人之间建立和发展成功的合作伙伴关系，以制作新作品。在博士学位的过程中，作曲家将开发方法和技巧，使音乐与文本，探索和学习现有的曲目（特别是20/21世纪歌剧），并建立在此研究开发新的音乐/文本设置，最初在歌曲的规模，与诗人，歌词作者（MMU）合作。这些较小的“草图”实验将发展，作为博士学位的进展，重点放在主要的“工作”-一个新的歌剧/清唱剧。这一多方合作项目将制定工作方法，与未来的作曲家/诗人伙伴关系分享。这种研究方法的传播可以通过MMU/RNCM/BBC网站/博客，但也-通过BBC爱乐乐团和监督员的广泛广播联系-我们希望感兴趣的BBC广播3股，如音乐事项或自由思考。

This studentship seeks to address one of the key challenges in text-led contemporary orchestral and operatic music: to forge and develop successful collaborative partnerships between equally accomplished composers and poets to produce new work. Over the course of the PhD, the composer will develop methods and skills in making music with text, explore and learn from existing repertoire (particularly 20th / 21st Century opera) and build on this research to develop new music / text settings, initially on the scale of songs, in partnership with the poet-librettist (MMU). These smaller 'sketch' experiments will develop, as the PhD progresses into a focus on the major 'work' - a new opera / oratorio. This multi-collaborative project will develop working methods to be shared with future composer / poet partnerships. This dissemination of research methods can be via MMU/RNCM/BBC websites/blogs, but also - through the BBC Philharmonic and supervisors' extensive broadcast contacts - we hope to interest BBC Radio 3 strands such as Music Matters or Free Thinking.
