The miniaturist group a very small consortium seeks compositions for performance in February 2016. All submitted works must be “miniatures.” A work may qualify as a miniature in one of two ways:

– the piece consists of 100 or fewer notes (with the definition of “a note” left to the discretion of the composer);

Generally, we seek works that utilize the following forces in any combination or as soloists:
Soprano voice (1)
Mezzo-soprano voice (1)
Baritone voice (1)
B-flat clarinet (1)
Soprano saxophone (1)

Alto saxophone (2)

Tenor saxophone (1)

Bari saxophone (1)
Trumpet (1)
Horn (1)
Trombone (1)
Cello (1)
Piano (1)
Percussion (1) – (available instruments: all standard orchestral percussion, 5-octave marimba, vibraphone)

 

We would also like to feature the following ensembles – submissions for these forces are particularly encouraged:

Brass Trio (Trumpet, horn, trombone)

Saxophone Quartet (SATB or AATB)

Submissions are accepted via email only. Please send scores (and parts, if necessary) in PDF format to the email address below. MP3 recordings are welcome but not necessary. Please also include composer contact information, a very small biography and very small program notes. Scores must be received by Friday, November 20th to be considered for the fall concerts.
