I'm writing a volume of music for figure skating routines, and I need to get a general consensus of how long the pieces have to be for competitions, etc..|||There is no general consensus.
If you're talking senior programs, long and short programs are of different lengths, and - if I recall correctly - I think that mens programs are longer than womens.
Also, I'm thinking your market wouldn't even be the people you see on tv (seniors), as they tend to have experts put together their programs with a mission to be unique, and follow along with whatever the judges are trending towards actually looking for at that moment. So, your market would be the lower levels.
Programs, in that case, vary anywhere from about a minute (primary), to around 4 minutes for the juniors. I believe novice and junior also have long and short programs, so again - 2 different lengths.
Your best bet would be to write/compile good pieces for actually skating to, don't pay too much attention to length, and let the coaches / music people for individual skaters cut the music for their skaters' needs. They'll want to mix pieces, as that's also something judges look for.|||I'm no expert, but they usually last about the length of a song, so about 4 minutes I believe.|||There is a short and a long program and a free skate.
