Additional specifications for the work will be negotiated among the Barlow Endowment, the composer, and the performing consortium.
Composers applying for a general commission are to submit a request as to how much funding their piece will require, and for whom it will be written.
Composers applying for an LDS commission are to submit a request as to how much funding their piece will require, and for whom it will be written.
Faculty members use some of those funds to promote and facilitate their own work (copying costs, recordings, travel to premieres or conferences, etc.)
and the rest to support the students and their work (via scholarships, travel funds, visiting lecturers and so forth).
