Deadline:  12:00 Noon, Monday, March 17, 2008

IU Composers are encouraged to submit work(s) for Spring 2008 Orchestra reading. Masters thesis and short works are preferred. Any selected master thesis will receive one full hour of reading (actual 50 minutes rehearsal time) when the time frame is permissible. Others will receive a rehearsal time according to duration of works, but no more than 30 minutes. Please contact P.Q. Phan for any further questions (pphan@indiana.edu).

Entries may be submitted to P.Q. Phan via the School of Music  mailroom.

Dates of reading: April 14, 15, & 17 (from 4:00-6:00 PM, location  to be announced)

Available Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2/4.2.3.1/1.2/harp/strings.

Participated composers are responsible for providing instrumentalists exceeded the above instrumentation.

Submissions must guarantee available parts when selected. Submissions must include:

. One full score

. Indicate the duration of the composition

. Two sample parts (flute 1 and violin 1)

. Contact information: email address

Selected composers must provide appropriate parts (one/each winds, harp, and percussion instruments, and 8/7/6/6/6 for strings) by 12:00 Noon, Friday, March 28, 2008, directly, or left in the mailroom for P.Q. Phan.

Formats:

1. Legible, transposed or non-transposed full scores are accepted. Scores must be double sided, with information on instrumentation and duration. No single sided score(s) will be accepted. Scores must be bound. Loose binding will help to turn pages easily. Full score size in 11X8.5 format is discouraged (to small to read). Scores with proper size of measure numbers plus rehearsal letters (or numbers) will be very helpful.

2. Page size for parts must not be smaller than 11x8.5and larger than 14x11 (both are in portrait format). Parts must be bound when required multi-page setting. Tape binding (usually paper tape or cloth tape) is the only acceptable format (no spiral binding, no stapled). Parts require reasonable rest(s) for page turn. Parts must include related necessary elements such as measure number (large enough to read), rehearsal letter or  number, cue(s) after a long rest, etc. Each page must have around 8 systems, which allows space for noting rehearsal comments and easy reading. Do not use shared parts among wind instruments. Parts must be delivered in score order (fl, ob, cl, etc.)
