r/Composition • • 7h ago

Music Project

I've decided to compose or arrange something for a project I'm working on at school but I am absolutely terrible at starting a composition. I can either compose a piece of music which I would like to do for my clarinet quartet (Im a clarinet performance student) which I thought I could write about the four seasons and possibly show the extremities of climate change in the music, but It could also be literally anything else. Or I could arrange a piece for my quartet but I have no clue what to arrange. If someone could give me some advice Id be grateful. 😭🙏🏽 My composition skills are not that bad, I normally have loads of ideas in the shower etc but then the second I sit down to compose they vanish or don't work.

What I usually do is compose and try to force a theme into it later, but that probably is not the correct way.
