For AoS4 in its GCSE specification, AQA has gathered together four important and very contrasting British composers from the 20th and 21st centuries: Malcolm Arnold, Benjamin Britten, Peter Maxwell Davies and John Tavener. Students are expected to listen to unfamiliar music by these composers, and to be able to describe musical elements in it, as well as the musical contexts and musical language.
