Abstract
This portfolio of compositions, along with its commentaries, consists of six pieces for varied instrumentation as well as their analysis in relation to musical borrowing and masking. Masking, which is the central topic of this thesis, is explored in each one my pieces as a means of repurposing borrowed materials. When exploring the repurposing of materials, I research and expand upon the use of various techniques from composers of diverse backgrounds, as well as artists from other disciplines such as cinematography. This is done as a means of synthesising their ideas with my own, expanding the possibilities that borrowed materials have within the formal construction of a musical composition.
