CCM Professor of Ensembles and Conducting Brett Scott, DMA, won the George Rieveschl Jr. Award for Creative and/or Scholarly Works. This award was set up through the generosity of Dr. George Rieveschl to recognize distinguished achievements of national and international acclaim in the areas of scholarly and/or creative work. Recipients are recognized at the UC Faculty Awards Ceremony, receive a plaque and an award of $2,000, and have their names added to the Hall of Achievement in the TUC.
Scott submitted both scholarly and creative examples as part of his award application. The scholarly examples included an authorized biography and complete discussion of Scott's book, "R. Murray Schafer: A Creative Life." Schafer was a composer, educator, founder of the field of acoustic ecology, and fiction/non-fiction author. It is published by Rowan and Littlefiel.
The creative examples included 11 separate full-length recordings, two with CCM Chorale (Lux Dei and Deus Et Machina), and 9 with Scott's professional choir, Coro Volante. The projects included 70 world premiere recordings, all by 20th century composers from around the world. Scott also mentioned his performances with CCM Chorale, Musica Sacra, Coro Volante, and other choirs he has worked with, including numerous world, US and regional premiere performances.
