2010 RECITAL MUSIC COMPOSITION COMPETITION for DOUBLE BASS

The 2010 Recital Music Composition Competition for Double Bass  is open to composers of any age or

Galileo Galilei, now called the Galilean or 'Medician' satellites, in honour of their Florentine heritage.

There are five categories and submitted works written in any style or idiom are acceptable. Composers may

submit more than one entry, but each must be accompanied by the relevant entry fee.

Works should be unpublished but may have been performed previously.

Works written for 4-stringed basses, with the lowest note of E, and in any standard tuning are preferred.

Recordings may also be submitted with each entry.

 DEADLINE: 1 June 2010

Entries may be accepted after this date at the administrator's discretion.

Winners will be announced after 15 July 2010
