I am considering pursuing a DMA program for music composition and I’ve heard that it’s a good idea to find a school where the faculty’s aesthetic lines up with yours and where you see you’re future career being.
I am interested in music that is a bit more centered around minimalism and ambient styles. More tonaly than not. I’m not concerned with super edgy avant-garde. Some of my favorite composers are John Luther Adams, Philip Glass, Arvo Part, Lou Harrison, Charles Ives, Claude Debussy, Ben Johnson, etc.
Ive composed a good deal of chamber music, particularly choral:sacred music and electoacoustic music (I’ll mention my background is in music technology as well as composition). I work as a professional pianist and organist/choir director.
I’ve read that the program at Yale might be up my alley, anyone else have any suggestions??
thanks!!
