Abstract
One Mob is the creative investigation of two compositional ideas, one melodic and two, harmonic. In the opening section, the piece overlays repetition (tenor melody) with variation (alto melody) providing the composition with two interdependent themes. In the second section, the opening diatonic harmonic progression is develop through the use of a non-diatonic progression built from the b6 major. This composition answers the following research question: In what ways can contrasting musical devices be harnessed in an original composition for small jazz ensemble?
