    Memories of India
    When her father enlists to fight for the British in WWI, young
    Sara Crewe goes to New York to attend the same boarding
    school her late mother attended. She soon clashes with the
    severe headmistress, Miss Minchin, who attempts to stifle
    Sara's creativity and sense of self- worth. Sara's belief that
    "every girl's a princess" is tested to the limit, however, when
    word comes that her father was killed in action and his estate
    has been seized by the British government

    This film score composition was written to reflect the western girl and the Indian
    man she sees. There is a flute, clarinet and strings (western instruments) mixed
    with Indian tabla and sitar. The melodies are based both on western scales and
    the Indian Rag Desh scale studied in our set work. The piece follows the common
    structure of the rag too, with Alap, Jhor and Jhala sections.

    Set Brief 1) Theme and Variations

    La Rosso Variazioni

    for

    Solo Piano

    This piece for solo piano is composed in a theme and variations structure. The
    intention is for it to be performed for an audition as it enables the performed to
    display a variety of style that grows ever more complex.
    After the original theme is first stated the first variation is in a minor key and the
    range of the piano is exploited. Variation 2 flows through a 3/4 time signature,
    with extensive use of the sustain pedal. Variation 3 ends with a quick allegro
    variation, with flourishing semi-quaver runs.
