The Twin Cities AGO chapter announces a competition for an unpublished, newly composed work for solo pipe organ in the form of a prelude or postlude suitable for worship that must quote or be based upon an existing hymn tune or a melody from the repertoire of Gregorian chant. A single prize of $1,500 will be awarded to any composer of any age residing or studying in the United States, for a work that is a minimum of four minutes in length. The submission may have been previously performed, but must be unpublished and cannot have won a prize in any other composition. If, in the opinion of the judges, no entry is worthy of the prize, it shall not be awarded. The official entry form at www.tcago.org must be submitted with the composition.
Deadline for submission is April 1, 2013; the winner will be announced May 1, 2013.
Submit entries to: AGO Composition Contest, 239 Selby Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55102.
