Call for Music
Open to any UK composer. Submit new music for choir, brass quintet and organ, or any combination of these forces. Re-opening Autumn 2022.
JAM’s Call for Music remains at the heart of the work of this organisation. Since 2000 JAM has given performances of 150 new pieces of music, either submitted to or commissioned by the charity.
Successful submissions will be performed in JAM’s annual Music of Our Time concert at St Bride’s Church, Fleet Street, London.
The concert will be professionally recorded to help promote your work.
Guidelines for submission:
- Open to anyone aged 18 if they are born, living or studying in the UK.
- A maximum time limit of 10 minutes is stipulated. There is no minimum limit – a short fanfare is as relevant as a large piece for all the forces.
- All scores must be submitted on paper. .JAM cannot return music that is submitted so please retain a copy.
- All scores must be accompanied by a recording, preferably MP3. A sequenced / Sibelius version is acceptable as the recording will only be used as a ‘reference’ during the selection process.
- If setting words, any text is encouraged – not just liturgical. Please have the appropriate copyright for any words that are set as JAM cannot perform pieces without prior permission.
- Please do not submit more than 3 pieces. Ideally send us your best piece; the one you really want us to see and perform.
- Please do not submit more than 3 pieces. Ideally send us your best piece; the one you really want us to see and perform.
