THE DIAPASON
The National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM) is sponsoring a competition for new Mass settings using the new translation of the Order of Mass.
Judges will choose as finalists four settings from among the submissions. Selected movements from the four finalists will be sung and evaluated by participants during the 2010 NPM convention in Detroit, Michigan, July 12–16.
The winning entry will be chosen by a poll of those attending the convention, and its composer will receive a cash prize of $1,500.
The texts may be found at [email protected] or by mail to NPM Mass Setting Competition, 962 Wayne Avenue, Suite 210, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
Deadline for all submissions is January 31, 2010.
