Composition for Church Musicians
Dan Locklair, Wake Forest University

This is a weeklong 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
Wake Forest University. 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 (e-mail derek.greten-harrison@yale.edu)
for application information.
