Scope and content

This competition was a partnership between the RSA, Boosey & Hawkes and Classic FM. It arose out of Classic FM's Masterclass series for secondary schools. It was an exercise in linking the creativity of composers with the needs of young players to remedy the fact that few developments in musical style had filtered down to what was available for young orchestras and choirs to perform. The competition was launched nationwide on Classic FM and in other music media in the autumn of 1993 with entries to be in by March 1994. This was a 'one-off' venture.\n\nFiles in this series are the entries for the competition. While most files contain an entry for, composition description, cassette recording of the composition and accompanying correspondence.
