... It is also this year on the website of FONDAZIONE GUIDO D'AREZZO , where since Recently, the results of this year's 37th are the International Composition Competition "Guido d'Arezzo" reported. Neither the first nor the second prize was awarded. A (undoped) received honorable mention is the piece "Dos palabras" was born in 1963 Ivo Antognini from Aranno in Switzerland.

As the LIST OF WINNERS can be seen since 1995, so the eighth year in Episode no first prize award - the previously received last year 2002 my motet "Vanitas". Whether that was really good, I can not judge yourself at ease - she has been listed since its premiere in Tuscany Arezzo in 2003 by the Concert Choir of the University of Manila, at least not as far as I know. Despite various efforts has so far found no choir, who would have dared to the admittedly not very simple piece.
However, I think it very unfortunate that the highly respected competition of Arezzo is not able to attract capable composer, with quality and original works (which I hardly can believe). After all, the prize money of 5,000 € and 2,500 € for the first and second Price remarkable after all. What I do not hope is that the regular non-award of prizes of the Foundation with financial difficulties has to do - or that the jury changes every year simply create utopian standards.
