Directions:  This exercise is designed to give you practice in using musical structure.  The plan is that each team will pick patterns out of a hat.  Together, you will plan a composition that uses all these patterns plus other patterns that you write yourself.  Here are the rules...

1. You must use all the patterns I give you.  In addition, you can make up any number of patterns of your own.
2. You must choose a measure length for your composition.
3. The composition must be at least 64 measures long.  In addition, its length should be a multiple of the measure length.  For example, if I choose the measure to be 8 beats long, the composition must be at least 512 beats long.
4. Every instrument should have the same number of beats in its part.
