The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America announces its 2025 Sally Slade Warner Arrangements and Transcriptions Competition, honoring the memory of Slade Warner and her many arrangements for carillon.
Composers are encouraged to submit arrangements to broaden and elevate the available repertoire. Entries must be an arrangement or transcription of an existing musical work for solo or duet performers, of any length. New this year, the committee will award prizes for four-octave carillons and for three-octave or smaller carillons.
The jury consists of Margaret Angelini, Lisa Lonie, Michael Solotke, Minako Uchino, and Lynnli Wang. They will evaluate entries based on usefulness to the carillon community, namely effectiveness on the carillon, playability, originality, and general musical interest. The jury will give consideration to entries that enhance the current repertoire or that represent diverse cultures, ideas, or musical styles.
Deadline for application is November 1. Winning submissions will be performed at the 2025 GCNA Congress and published by the GCNA.
