THE PROCESS The following list may be progressive – but earlier bullets should not be abandoned Explore vocal representations – incorporate body, ‘found’, percussion and instrumental sounds Explore events within the overall event (as in developing a story) Find easy to complex rhythms (short phrases) to enhance each stage of the trail Move rhythms onto tuned percussion/melodic instruments Sing the phrases where appropriate A good example of a composition where the composer has created a melody but used timbre to retain the sound effect of the character is ‘Flight of the Bumble Bee’ by Rimsky Korsakov
