    2014 Report

    After 15 years as Executive Director of the Barlow Endowment, the time has come for me to step down–a move that coincides with my retirement as Professor of Music at Brigham Young University. My time with the Endowment has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Personal relationships with composers and musicians from around the world have enriched my musical life in ways I never dreamed.

    It is my pleasure to announce that ETHAN WICKMAN will become the new Barlow Endowment’s Executive Director. As required by the Endowment’s Charter, Brigham Young University’s President Kevin Worthen appointed Ethan to this post in November.

    Wickman holds a DMA in composition from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, an MM from Boston University, and BM from Brigham Young University. According to the biography on his website, he is described as a “composer of facility and imagination, the kind to whom both performers and audiences respond” (The New York Times), composer Ethan Wickman’s (b. 1973) music has been performed by soloists and ensembles in venues in the U.S. and around the world. He has received grants and commissions from the Barlow Endowment, Meet the Composer, the American Composers Forum, the Wisconsin Music Teachers Association, the Utah Arts Festival, and Chicago’s Music In The Loft, where he is the 2014-15 Composer-In-Residence. He was awarded the Jacob Druckman prize for his orchestral work “Night Prayers Ascending” at the Aspen Music Festival; the Harvey Phillips Award for his work “Summit” from the International Tuba Euphonium Association; first place in the Utah Arts Festival Chamber Commission Competition; and was a finalist in the 25th annual ASCAP Rudolf Nissim Orchestral Composition Competition.”

    Ethan’s five years as a member of the Endowment’s Board of Advisors (2009-2013), an additional year as a guest judge (2014), his two commissions from the Endowment, and his close association with BYU make him exceedingly qualified to assume the Executive Directorship of the Barlow Endowment.

    I hope you will all join me in giving Ethan your enthusiastic support.

  • The Barlow Education Grant supports students and faculty of the BYU School of Music in their education and their professional endeavors in music composition.

    2014 Report

    Students

    A large share of the Education Grant funds always go towards direct student support, by way of scholarships, assistantships, internships, travel awards and fee support for festivals and performances, and support for guest composers and performers who work directly with students.

    Established in 2011, the Milton A. Barlow Scholarship and the Barlow Student Composition Award are ongoing scholarships and awards presented to the most outstanding composition student(s) in our program. The Milton A. Barlow Scholarship is a one-year, full tuition scholarship, and the Barlow Student Composition Award is a $500 cash award that carries with it a commission to write a new piece for one of BYU’s premiere large ensembles.

    These two named awards have added prestige and visibility to the composition area, and we look forward to the continued success of the recipients and the recognition these awards bring the Endowment.

    Dylan-Findley.jpg
    Dylan Findley

    The recipient of the 2014 Milton A. Barlow Scholarship and the 2014 Barlow Student Composition Award is Dylan Findley, a current senior majoring in music composition who also plays clarinet. Dylan has been a model citizen in our area, performing for several semesters in the Group for Experimental music and in several composition recitals in support of his fellow composers. He has been an excellent student and his music has continued to evolve in impressive ways. The scholarship provided him with some additional support as he finished up his senior year. As recipient of the Barlow Student Composition Award he was commissioned to write a new work for the BYU Wind Symphony, and his completed work, Beyond, was premiered on April 9, 2015, in the de Jong Concert Hall under the direction of Dr. Don Peterson. Dylan has been a member of the ensemble for the past two years, which no doubt had an impact on his ability to create a beautifully-scored and emotional work. Dylan successfully completed his BM in Music Composition and will go on to pursue an MM in Music Composition at the University of Miami, where he received a competitive scholarship and teaching assistantship.

    August 2014 marked the tenth year BYU student interns have assisted with the annual Barlow summit and Barlow Prize and Commissions judging. Four of our students—Dylan Findley, Scott Gibson, Christopher Morrison, and Nathan Thatcher—helped prepare the applicants’ files, coordinating hundreds of scores, recordings, and other materials that would be used in the judging process. They then attended the summit, which included several days of reviewing scores and judging by the Barlow Board of Advisors and guest judges. Students not only observed the judging process first hand while assisting in the various rooms, but also had several opportunities to interact directly with these professional composers and performers during meals and breaks. The Barlow Internship program has been a great boost to our program and we look forward to its continuation.

    Barlow funds support performances and residencies by guest performers every year—something that provides important exposure to our students and that also often allows our students to work closely with performers in workshops and reading sessions. We were pleased to host the New York Piano Trio again this year in November, which includes three accomplished performers: Curtis Macomber on violin, Stephen Gosling on piano, and Chris Finckel on cello. While they were here they rehearsed and recorded new works that were written specifically for their visit by seven of our student composers. The students completed the pieces prior to the group’s visit, and then each had nearly 30 minutes to work with the group in the Madsen Recital Hall at BYU. Each focused segment on an individual student’s work allowed the student to ask and answer questions about the piece, receive feedback from the performers on their work, and give any specialized input to the performers directly. The group then presented a run-through of the piece from start to finish to provide the students with a fairly polished reading of their work. Each composer’s session with the trio was recorded so the students could listen to the feedback again and also use the recording of their piece to get additional feedback and to use with their portfolio when applying to graduate school or for awards.

    The NY Piano Trio also presented an impressive evening concert that included works by Mauricio Kagel and Charles Ives—important contemporary composers whose works we seldom hear.

    Barlow Education Grant funds continue to provide needed and valuable support for our composition courses, providing honoraria for student performers that workshop and perform pieces by developing student composers. The practical training our composition students receive from these performances is a key part of their success in our program and in their consistent acceptance into competitive graduate programs.

    Barlow funds also helped support Utah percussionist Glenn Webb and members of the NOVA Chamber Music Series present contemporary works on campus. These performances have been important educational experiences for our students and also help to build our community of composers.

    Barlow funds covered travel and lodging expenses and honoraria for distinguished composer and Artistic Director of the influential Other Minds Festival, Charles Amirkhanian. He presented a School of Music lecture and then a Barlow Lecture to the composition students and faculty during his visit to campus in October. He also performed two of his pieces in a Group for New Music concert in the Madsen Recital Hall during his visit

    Anthony-Braxton_lighter.jpg
    Anthony Braxton

    Barlow funds often provide travel support and cover ticket expenses for performances that students attend off campus. For example, in September faculty member Christian Asplund accompanied three composition students to a concert and lectures by veteran avant-garde improviser Anthony Braxton in Los Angeles. They were able to talk with Braxton after one of the concerts and have a meaningful discussion about how spirituality has played a role in his work. These sorts of direct interactions with prominent artists are essential for our students and we appreciate the support Barlow provides for them.

    Faculty

    Barlow funds are also used to support worthy faculty projects and activities, both as a way of increasing the profile and reputation of our area, and as a means to ensure our faculty are in the best position to instruct the students in current trends and practices.

    This year funds helped cover production costs for the release of two BYU faculty CD’s: Michael Hicks’s CD Felt Hammers: The Complete Solo Piano Music, 1982-2010, performed by Keith Kirchoff (released by Tantara Records); and Neil Thornock’s CD Between the Lines, which is an ambitious collection of percussion music performed by Matthew Coley (released by New Focus Recordings).

    Funds also supported travel and lodging for a residency by Neil Thornock and Christian Asplund at BYU-Idaho, which included a joint recital and private lessons with the four composition students currently studying under Darrell Brown, a graduate of our program. This proved to be a valuable recruiting trip because all four of these students, actually very talented composers, applied to our graduate program.

    The Barlow Endowment Internship provided me with a unique opportunity to learn from professional musicians in a real-world environment. I did not understand the judging process until I had the opportunity to facilitate over seventy submissions for the Barlow Prize and find that these seasoned composers only found five distinguished scores. I was shocked to see several composers that were well-renowned for their artistry submit music that–while good–lacked representation of the commissioned ensemble. I quickly learned what makes a composition outstanding from this experience, and I discovered that the judges were deeply invested in promoting new music through this endowment.

    Nevertheless, the greatest blessing came from my interaction with the judges. Stacey Garrop gave insight into music business and answered my questions about freelance composing in Chicago area. She also told us about a summer program called Fresh Inc that prepares composers to be entrepreneurs, and I may attend the program next year. However, I had the opportunity to work with Todd Coleman the most, who had a lot of great advice in choosing a graduate school in order to be prepared for long-term goals. It is rare to hear about the career end of music composition when the typical university curriculum is academically based, so I am grateful for their generosity to listen to and answer my questions.

    Overall, I heard inspiring music from diverse sources and received hands-on experience in what makes a composition competitive and attractive in the professional world. I am grateful for the Barlow family in sponsoring this great endowment, and for Thomas Durham, Stephen Jones and Rebecca Ott for their allowance of interns for the judging of the competition. I hope to apply what I learned in the upcoming year as I enter competitions and prepare myself for the future.

    Being a Barlow Intern for a second year was a great experience. I knew what to expect so I was able to focus more on what I could learn from the music and how it was received by the judges.

    As a saxophone player, this year’s focus on saxophone quartet was particularly interesting to me. I have played in saxophone quartets for years and was curious to see what people were doing with the medium. I was amazed at the variety of music that we heard. It was interesting that so much could come out of a very small ensemble. I was impressed at how imaginative many of the compositions were.

    Similar to last year, I feel that I learned a great deal from the judges. They were all very friendly and professional and happy to give advice on everything from applying to graduate schools to making a living as a composer. They all had great experience that I was able to benefit from, and it helped give me an idea about what I might want to do in the future. Hearing their discussions during the competition was very instructive. It gave me new ideas about how to look at my own music and how I could improve it. I believe I will be a better composer because of this experience.

    I very much enjoyed being a part of this again. I’m very grateful to everyone who was involved: especially the Barlow family for supporting a program that gives so many great opportunities to so many people.

    Being a Barlow intern was an amazing opportunity since we were working in the same rooms as the judges and got to hear not only the same snippets of pieces they were hearing, but also their dialogue with each other. Through their conversation and reactions to pieces the judges taught me what works in competitions and what does not. I feel that should I enter a piece into the Barlow or another competition I will have a leg up due to this experience.

    In the plenary sessions, when the judges took on the difficult task of choosing a (some) winner(s), I was delighted by their civility and collegial attitude toward one another. They handled disagreements with courtesy, mutual respect and curiosity toward each other’s viewpoints; I felt enlightened and privileged to be witnessing this special process. These sessions also shed more light for me on what makes a successful competition piece. However, I also saw how diverse modern art music is and how many different styles can be viable for a competition.

    Working with three other interns, all music composition students at BYU, yielded interesting conversations at mealtimes and between sessions. Some of these conversations helped me better define my own artistic goals and feel out new paths and I am grateful that I got to work as a team with these talented composers. Another thing worth mentioning is the meeting we interns had with Stacy Garrop, one of the competition judges, about the fresh inc. festival she started. This two-week summer program is designed to help composers with the business aspects of their careers and it is something I am considering doing in the future.

    The Barlow internship was a highlight of my summer. What I learned far exceeded my expectations and I also had fun! I’m very grateful for the Barlow family’s support of new music and especially their support of the intern program of the Barlow Competition. I had an invaluable experience that I will not forget.

    It’s not often you get a chance to peek behind the curtain at a prestigious contest such as Barlow. My glimpse did not disappoint. Having not only learned much about the process for selection of winning entries but also rubbing shoulders with the incredibly talented and dedicated men and women who served as judges, I came away with a new perspective. I feel much more equipped not only to apply successfully to similar contests, but also to be a more perceptive judge of my own writing. It was most fascinating to hear the discussions that took place in evaluating each application. The judges were discerning and skilled and associating with them gave me excellent models to follow. It was incredibly helpful to hear them articulate how the concepts and abstract ideas such as musical form and language that I have learned in classes apply to real new works. I was also interested in the varied opinions represented by the judges and how they managed to come to consensus in spite of their individual ideas.

    Coming away from this time at the Barlow Endowment, I want to change how I approach the writing of music and have gained greater insight into how to do so with skill and how to pursue a career with wisdom. I am grateful for the generous support of the Barlow family which made it possible for me to glimpse behind this curtain.

    Witnessing firsthand the realities of the compositional world and discussing them with professionals has educated me in ways that would not be possible otherwise and set me up for future professional successes.
