RANDOM ACCESS MUSIC – Call for Scores

Receipt deadline: February 15, 2010

 

We are excited to announce our second annual call for scores. The members of RAM are looking for adventurous new music regardless of style.  One winning composition will be performed at RAM’s 2010 spring concert by the Anubis Saxophone Quartet (www.anubisquartet.com) at the historic St. Peter’s Church in Chelsea.

 

Please submit a solo or chamber ensemble work 6-12 minutes in length, scored for saxophone quartet, trio, duo or solo in any combination of soprano, alto, tenor or baritone saxophones. Works that substitute other instruments for saxophones will not be accepted, however works requiring electronics are eligible, provided any technology required (beyond playback) be supplied and operated by the composer or the composer’s representative.

 

Submission materials:

        • one score

        • CD recording (encouraged but not required)

        • composer’s name, address, phone number, and e-mail address (on a separate sheet)

 

Key materials must be submitted ANONYMOUSLY. Only the title of the piece and instrumentation may appear on the score and CD. Due to cost and time considerations, we will NOT accept online or digital submissions. Please provide a hard copy of your score. So that your submission remains anonymous in the judging process, please also send a sealed envelope containing your full name, address, phone number and email address with your materials. On the outside of that envelope write the name of your work ONLY. If you would like materials returned, enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. All submissions must be received on or by February 15, 2010.
