The University of Louisville School of Music offers an exceptional opportunity for a thorough education in the fields of music composition and theory, as well as unique opportunities to hear and study a broad range of musical styles. Degrees in theory and composition are available at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. A core curriculum emphasizes recent compositional techniques as well as traditional tonal materials, with classes in analysis, counterpoint, orchestration, and special seminar topics.
The School of Music is home to the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition, one of the largest monetary prizes for music composition in the world. The Grawemeyer Collection, which is available for students’ use, contains over three thousand entries from composers around the world. This is one of the best collections of very new music in the world today. Each winner of the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition visits campus for lectures and master classes. The Grawemeyer Award, annual New Music Festival, and many new music concerts are among the events that bring distinguished guest composers to campus. Student composers have regular and frequent opportunities to work with these composers in master classes and individual lessons. In the recent past, guest composers have included John Adams, Thomas Ades, Simon Bainbridge, Leslie Bassett, Pierre Boulez, Unsuk Chin, Michael Colgrass, John Corigliano, Sebastian Currier, Brett Dean, Tan Dun, Donald Erb, John Harbison, Jake Heggie, York Holler, Karel Husa, Aaron Jay Kernis, Gyorgy Kurtag, Libby Larsen, Peter Lieberson, Shulamit Ran, Kaija Saariaho, Steven Stucky, Augusta Read Thomas, Joan Tower, George Tsontakis, Chinary Ung, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich.
The University of Louisville School of Music currently sponsors two annual student composition contests: The University of Louisville Young Composer Competition for New Electroacoustic Music and the Frank Robert Abell Young Composer Competition for New Chamber Music. Information about these competitions can be found at http://louisville.edu/music/composition.
Double Stuff is a two CD set of music composed by University of Louisville School of Music composition majors and performed by UofL students and faculty.
