Pulitzer prize in music updates
Thursday, July 28, 2005
Alex Ross writing in "The Rest is Noise", has an interesting take on the recent updating of the rules for the Pulitzer Prize in music composition:
I recently read an essay by John Halle, a composer at Yale, warning that the art of writing and reading musical notation is fast losing its cultural value. He argues convincingly that the Pulitzer should remain a bulwark for American composers — not because they are a superior species, but because they are in dire need of broader cultural recognition and economic support. In other words, they could use the cash. Read the rest of Ross's comments here.
