Guidelines

2010 Fenno Heath Award for the composition of new Yale songs 

The Fenno Heath Award was established in 2005 to encourage the composition of new Yale Songs by Yale student composers, and is named in honor of Fenno Heath, beloved former conductor of the Yale Glee Club and the composer of many immortal Yale Songs. 

The composer of the winning song will receive a $500 cash award, a premiere performance by the Yale Glee Club at the annual Yale/Harvard or Yale/Princeton Glee Club concert, and publication in the next edition of Songs of Yale. 

Songs should be composed for mixed chorus with or without piano accompaniment, and should be approximately three minutes in duration. 

The text - which can be humorous, nostalgic, reflective, satirical - should in some way touch upon the composer's Yale experience. 

All applicants should bring a resume and two copies of the composition to the Glee Club offices before 4:00 PM on October 11th, 2010. These offices are located in Hendrie Hall, room 201 and open from 9 to 4 on weekdays. Applicants should omit their names from the composition itself but include them in the resume. When we receive the submission, we will separate resumes and compositions to ensure anonymity in the judging.   Former Fenno Heath Award winners are not eligible to enter. 

For more information on any aspect of the contest, applicants should contact Yale Glee Club director, Jeffrey Douma - 432-4138, jeffrey.douma@yale.edu
