In partnership with Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church in Minneapolis, MN, the American Composers Forum is pleased to announce an international competition to select a composer who will be commissioned to set the Magnificat text for use in a liturgical or concert setting.

The intent of this program is to enrich and strengthen the repertoire of sacred choral music by encouraging composers to create music specific to that genre.

Composers of all ages and nationalities are eligible to apply. The composer selected for this project will receive a commission in the amount of $2,500.00.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Friday, February 17, 2012 (postmark)
