The Riesenklavier

 Riesenklavier
<http://www.NM421.com/issue/postcard/14-11-14-Riesenklavier.jpg> 

Esteemed pianist Andre Dinklaker had always yearned for a Bosendorfer
Riesenklavier, reputed to be the biggest piano in the world, thanks to the
extra trill octave. And one day, he found it - in, of all places, his
neigh-boring town of Pringlerville! Andre was on tour when it was delivered,
so he was as surprised as anyone when he got home and discovered that not
only was the Riesenklavier the world's biggest piano, it was also the
heaviest.

2014 AGBU Sayat Nova International
Composition Competition 

 <http://sayatnova2014eng.agbueurope.org/dev/index.php>  

AGBU is deploying efforts to attract the interest of young composers to
classical music and the traditional Armenian repertoire. If the encounter
between classical musicians, of written tradition, and traditional
musicians, of oral tradition, is sometimes difficult, it is all the more
richer. Together they create the musical heritage of tomorrow. 

Hence, the idea of the Sayat Nova composition competition is born, combining
modernism, tradition and Armenian inspiration. It aims to discover talented
young composers, help them financially, record their works, and diffuse
them. 

When it was first introduced in 2006, the Sayat Nova Composition Competition
proved to be a laboratory of creativity. Amidst festivities for AGBU's
centennial, a panel of expert judges reviewed an impressive range of
submissions. On December 9, 2006, it ultimately granted Artur Akshelyan with
the first prize. That night, Akshelyan's piece was brought to life by the
Armenian Diaspora Chamber Orchestra through a memorable performance in the
Salon Opera at the Intercontinental Hotel in Paris. 

The 2012 AGBU Sayat Nova International Composition Competition was a great
success as evidenced by the 22 candidates participating from around the
world. Two young composers were distinguished: Tomas Berreiro, Mexican, was
granted the 2nd Prize for his work The Death of the Nightingale and Ernest
Dulgaryan, Armenian, the 3rd prize for Whispers. In addition to the Sayat
Nova competition prize, Tomas Barreiro was awarded the Special Prize
"Carnegie Hall" by the jury. As such, his composition was interpreted during
the AGBU - NYSEC Annual Concert in December 2013 in the prestigious New York
concert hall. 

Contest participation conditions: 

The 2014 Sayat Nova competition candidates will have to compose for a
chamber ensemble consisting of 3 (three) instrumentalists (piano, cello and
duduk) and a woman's voice, mezzo- soprano register (spoken or sung). 

The duration of the piece must be within 7-10 minutes. 

The piece must include one quotation, in any form, from a text of Daniel
Varoujan in Armenian or translated into a Western language (i.e. English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish or Russian). 

The deadline for submission of works is no later than 28 November 2014.

60x60
11th Annual
Call for Works 

 <http://www.60x60.com/calls/>  

60x60 11th Annual International Mix 

60x60 is calling for works for its 11th performance season! 

Vox Novus is inviting composers/sound artists to submit recorded works 60
seconds or less in length to be included in its 11th annual 60x60 project.
60 compositions will be selected to be played continuously in a one-hour
concert. 

60x60 is a one-hour-long show made by sequencing 60 pre-recorded pieces by
60 different composers, each piece a minute in length or shorter.
Highlighting the work of a great many composers, 60x60 testifies to the
vibrancy of contemporary composition by present a diverse array of styles,
aesthetics, and techniques being used today. 

60x60 mixes have received more than 350 performances in more than 30
countries including venues such as the Winter Garden Atrium at the World
Financial Center, Stratford Circus for Opening Day Festival for the 2012
London Olympics, and Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. 60x60
collaborates with multimedia including dance, video, art, and sculpture.
60x60 Dance was described by the New York Times as "...60 new pieces of
music, each lasting no more than 60 seconds - is quite mad. But it's this
kind of madness that makes the cultural world go round..." 

During the concert each of the 60 pieces selected will begin precisely at
the beginning of the minute, this will mark the end of one piece and the
beginning of another. There will be no pause between the pieces. Works may
be less than 60 seconds in length, but may not exceed 60 seconds. Works
selected that are less than 60 seconds long will be "padded" with silence
either before, after, or surrounding the composition. Please note that the
total duration of the work including silence may NOT exceed sixty seconds. 

The 60x60 project's definition of a record work is as follows: any work
created as a musical composition which is captured on recorded media, which
does not require live performers for its production in broadcast at concert
halls, radio, multi-media, etc. Its creation can include but not limited to
acoustic instruments, voice, environmental sources, and computer (Sampling,
MAX MSP, MIDI, C Sound, ProTools, etc.) 

All works submitted should be with the understanding that it is their
recording that is of prime importance and is what will be used to determine
its selection. 

60x60 is a project of "signature works" and short works created specifically
for the 60x60 project. Excerpts of larger works are strongly discouraged.
Works generated from procedures (i.e. mathematical matrices, organizational
systems, or computer programs,) remixed works, or themes and motives
recomposed from other of the composer's own work are acceptable. 

In addition to the 60x60 International Mix, Vox Novus is planning to create
several alternate mixes to the 11th call for works. Planned themed mixes
include the Wave Farm Mix, BPM Mix, Death Mix, Latin Mix, and more. All
works submitted to alternate mixes will be considered for the 60x60
International Mix. (Works need to be submitted to the various alternate
mixes directly to be considered for the mix concerned.)
