Abstract	Composing Territory is a research project with two main aims. The first aim is to identify optimal composition and arrangement techniques for choral works written for female singers from various linguistic backgrounds in the Northern Territory whose voices are undergoing pubertal changes. The second aim is the creation of twelve choral compositions plus an accompanying teaching resource, to provide sequential delivery appropriate to the educational context of the region, wherein the majority of choral educators have no music training. The diverse and transient nature of the Northern Territory's population and the lack of education training and resources for choral delivery make traditional choral works inaccessible and tonal homogeneity of choirs unlikely. By changing the way we compose choral works it may be possible to ensure student learning continues through the period of female vocal change, achieve more homogenous sounds from linguistically diverse choristers, and successfully establish choral blend. Underpinning the compositional process with pedagogical considerations of linguistic differences and pubertal changes delivered through appropriate teaching strategies and resources will be significant outcomes of this projects. These outcomes could ensure non-music specialists are better equipped for choral delivery and student learning continues throughout voice change processes unhindered by individual linguistic background.
