Defining Recomposition Through the Works of Gregson, Richter, and Peck: Creating a Dialogue with Vivaldi and Bach to Compose New Music.

<p> Recomposition has been a commonly utilized compositional method for hundreds of years, yet there is no universally accepted definition in the musical community. The existing literature on the subject is limited, so this project will examine various sources to define this term more accurately. This research analyzes successful recompositions for string ensemble, Peter Gregson’s <em>Bach - The Cello Suites Recomposed</em> (2018) and <em>Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons Recomposed</em> (2012), and my two new compositions<em>, Air on the G String Recomposed </em>and <em>Vivaldi Cello Sonata No. 3 in A Minor Recomposed</em>. My compositions incorporate the recompositional methods of Gregson and Richter while maintaining my artistic identity. This project bridges the existing research gap in the field of recomposition and motivates other composers to further explore and produce recompositions.<strong></strong></p>
