Homework Suite is a classical composition by American composer Gordon Getty. It was composed in 1984 and premiered in the same year by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The suite consists of three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement, titled "The Alphabet," is a playful and whimsical piece that features a lively melody and a variety of musical textures. Getty uses a range of instruments, including strings, woodwinds, and percussion, to create a colorful and dynamic sound. The second movement, "The Clock," is a more contemplative piece that explores the concept of time. Getty uses a repeating motif to create a sense of urgency and tension, while also incorporating moments of stillness and reflection. The final movement, "The Calendar," is a celebratory piece that captures the joy and excitement of the passing of time. Getty uses a variety of musical techniques, including syncopation and counterpoint, to create a lively and energetic sound. Overall, Homework Suite is a charming and engaging composition that showcases Getty's skill as a composer. The suite's playful melodies, intricate harmonies, and dynamic rhythms make it a joy to listen to, and its exploration of time and the passage of time gives it a deeper, more contemplative dimension.
