Composition
Competition
The
A.B.C.D.F. (Association des Bassistes et Contrebassistes de France /
Association of bassists and double bassists of France) is organizing a
composition competition as part as the Festival Bass’ 2008.
This
competition is open to any composer born after June 15, 2008, and of any
nationality. Its aim is to develop the
creation for double bass : the work will be composed exclusively for double
bass solo (no electronic, electro acoustic or computer), for a duration of 6 to
8 minutes. Works may not
have been previously awarded, performed, recorded or published. The first prize, if given, will be
included in the compulsory repertoire of the final round of the international
competition Bass 2008, and will be granted 1500€. The Editions Musicales
Européennes, partners of the competition, will edited and published the
work.
Deadline
for receiving compositions : 15 June 2008, in 5 copies, with a letter confirming the
participation of the applicant to the competition and acceptance of the present
rules.
If you
would like your materials returned, please include an appropriate
self-addressed stamped envelope.
Organization
of the competition :
The jury
members will first meet for a selection of the manuscripts. The selected scores
will be then prepared by professional double bassists and played for the jury
members before July 15, 2008. The selected work will be then entrusted to the Editions
Musicales Européennes for edition (a contract will be signed, the composer
will be asked to proofread the engraver's proof) and sent to all candidates of
the International Competition Bass 2008, in the “recital” category.
The
Composition Prize will be awarded during the final concert of the double bass competition.
The jury’s
decision is final. The jury reserves the right not to award the prize.
Candidates are free of any editorial exclusivity so that the Editions Musicales
Européennes can product and print the score.
Manuscripts
