It’s a beautiful thing to witness a treasured family legacy, generously passed from one violinist to another, highlighting a veritable smorgasbord of musical delicacies from intrepid contemporary composers. The violin, no longer a sui generis instrument dedicated to a solo player’s predilections, emblematizes music as a bountiful gift, passed from hand to hand, spirit to spirit.
A common myth says that the 13th century Indian poet Amir Khusrau invented the tabla when he split a large Indian drum, the mridangam, in two. In fact, the instrument didn’t even originate in India. Careful research now shows it to be the creation of Jerome P. Tabla of Calcutta, Indiana. Tabla was a basketmaker of ill repute because his “guaranteed waterproof” wares were instead guaranteed to leak, thanks to a fundamental misinterpretation of ASTM Standard C1127, “Use of Elastomeric Waterproofing Membranes with Integral Wearing Surfaces.” However, when Tabla’s baskets were struck with the hand in order to shake off the pervasive pools of water, they produced a pleasing resonance, which gradually led to their conversion from interwoven container to Hoosier membranophone, a happy happenstance that continues to this day.

Vox Novus is calling for one-minute solo flute works composed for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame: Jacqueline Martelle to be performed at the Mother’s Day, May 12, 2013 Composer's Voice concert in New York City. The one-minute FLUTE works are to be written specifically for this project, which will be performed by Jacqueline Martelle. As a mother of three adult sons, Martelle suggests that the compositions may incorporate any aspect of the theme of Mother’s Day, including childhood, motherhood, sons, daughters, parents, etc. The compositions should be for solo flute.
Vox Novus is calling for one-minute pieces for soprano Dr. Liana Valente with piano composed for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame to be performed Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at the Tuesday Music Club (an affiliate member of the National Federation of Music Clubs) in Lakeland, Florida. The one-minute pieces are to be written specifically for this project. The concept of these compositions revolves around Dr. Valente singing and playing the pieces; Dr. Valente has a powerful and expressive soubrette/coloratura voice with a rich and full middle range; she possesses moderate piano skills, able to accompany her voice studio members when singing German Lieder, French melodie, American art songs and operatic repertoire such as Mozart’s “Deh vieni,” and “Porgi amor” and Massenet’s “Va! laisse couler mes larmes.” The call is for scores that incorporate humor, poignancy, satire, and/or other surprises into the compositions.
Vox Novus is calling for five-minute pieces composed for West Point Woodwind Quintet, to be performed at the May 11, 2013 Composer's Voice Presents concert at the Museum and Visitor Center at Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg Pennsylvania. The five-minute quintet pieces are to be written specifically for this project, which will be performed by the West Point Woodwind Quintet. All works must be five-minutes or less.
The theme of this call is the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War. Inspiration for the pieces can be drawn from Civil War, art, literature, political commentary, historical events, or anything else that can be associated with the Civil War. We would like to encourage composers to be as creative as possible while working within this framework. We are seeking original music and are avoiding variations and arrangements on previously composed music. Please take into consideration the need to maintain the sacred atmosphere of Gettysburg. Pieces should be for: flute in C or alto flute; oboe or English horn; Bb clarinet or A clarinet or bass clarinet; horn in F and bassoon. Submissions must be for full quintet: no solos, duets, trios, or quartet pieces will be considered.
Extended techniques for all instruments are welcome. "New Directions for Clarinet" by Phillip Rehfeldt is a good, standard reference choice for extended clarinet usage. There are also many online resources for extended technique advice and notation. If there is any question about the composer's intent involving extended techniques, the performers can get in touch with the composer.
Submission guidelines:
-Submission Deadline: March 11, 2013
-Works written for wind quintet.
-No solos, duets, trios, or quartets
-Works must be submitted as a PDF file with a picture of the composer, 50-word biography, and 50-word program note about the piece.
-Do not submit sound files
-Works must be realistically five-minutes or less in length. No works over five minute will be reviewed.
-Works need to be submitted via email to: composersvoicesubmit@gmail.com -The subject line should read - WPWQ- Gettysburg-Composer Name - Composition Title

-The composer's picture must be attached as a jpg file.
-The score must be attached as a pdf. (performance notes should be included with the score.)
-Include the dedication to West Point Woodwind Quintet on the score
