Dan Locklair, Wake ForestUniversity

This is a course for composers looking for an op­portunity to workshop a sacred piece in progress in a master-class setting. Students will participate in individual and group sessions with Dan Locklair, composer-in-residence and professor of music at WakeForestUniversity. A recipient of numerous awards and one of the most prolific and widely performed US composers of music across all genres, he has a special affinity for sacred music. At the end of the week, students will share their work with each other (as facilities permit). Limited enrollment. Applicants should be trained musicians and at least amateur composers with a work of sacred music in progress. The piece(s) to be workshopped may be of any length and vocal/instrumental scoring; there are no facilities available for electronic works. The applicant must submit a score of a completed sample work, together with a recording on CD if available, in support of the application for this course. The sam­ple work should be representative of the applicant’s compositional style, but does not necessarily have to be sacred in character. Those interested in this course should contact the Yale Institute of Sacred Music at 203-432-9753 for application information. http://www.yale.edu/sdqsummerterm/classes.htm
