Abstract
This paper surveys a selected number of distinct devices, approaches, and catalysts from
which performers create improvised music, taken from works of modern jazz and contemporary
classical circles. From there, I create my own composition of organized improvisation with the
majority of material influenced directly by the specific examples initially observed. Finally, I
compare and contrast characteristics of my work with the corresponding surveyed examples. The
purpose of this project is to provide insight for composers and performers into organized
improvisation through the observation, organization, and compositional demonstration of various
types of improvisatory devices.
