A Call for Brass Chamber Works – open to all composers.
Requirements: Works may be for standard brass quintet instrumentation (2 trumpets, horn, trombone, tuba/bass trombone) or for mixed brass ensembles (3-9 instruments). Instruments other than brass may be used, but the ensemble should be primarily brass instruments. Qualifying works include any works written (or revised) during the last five years which have not had an extensive performance history and or been professionally recorded, and which have not won previous composition awards.
Entries should be submitted with a full score, performance parts, and a recording of the work (midi/electronic recordings are acceptable). The composer’s name may remain on the music. A self-addressed, stamped mailer must be included to have your materials returned.
Deadline: Works should be received no later than August 25, 2008. A processing fee of $10 should be included with each composition entered. Please make the check payable to “IBCMF.”
Awards: Brass Quintet Composition Prize – $2000; Mixed Brass Ensemble Prize – $2000.
Composers may enter compositions in either, or both, categories.
In addition to cash awards, the “IBCMF Excellence in Composition Award” may also be given for “honorable mention” entries. All entering composers that wish to have their composition reviewed in the Journal of the IBCMF (released post-conference) will have this option. These will be positive reviews such as found in the various brass guild journals. Please indicate your interest in being considered for a review in your application letter.
IBCMF reserves the right to change the award amounts or limit awards if so recommended by the various adjudicating panels. |
