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 are to be sent to :     Didier Goury

                                                      84, rue Victor Hugo

                                                 94320 Thiais
