GORDON SHERWOOD-The recent winner of the George Gersh-

Foundation works on his newest composition, a sonata for piano
and cello.

By SARAH DRASIN
Perhaps young composers don't
starve anymore, but they're still
struggling.
Witness Gordon Sherwood,
Spec., recent winner of the George
Gershwin Memorial Contest - he
has had to interrupt his musical
education three times.
At least temporarily, his wor-
ries are over. The contest prize is
$1,000 and an all-expense paid
trip to New York to hear his com-
position played on May 5 by the
New York Philharmonic Orchestra
in Carnegie Hall.
Sponsored by Hillel
This annual contest is national-
ly sponsored by the B'nai B'rith
Hillel Foundation for young Amer-
ican composers.
"When they called from New
York," Sherwood recalled, "I was
really shocked. I simply couldn't
believe that they were right."
The composition the orchestra
will play is the last two move-
ments of the symphony Sherwood
began in 1955. The first movement
won the Louisville Orchestra
Award last year and was played
there.
Judges Composition
Sherwood's composition, along
with the other entries, was judged
by a staff of well-known teachers,
composers and musicians from the
Eastman, Julliard and Harvard
schools of music. They judged the
piece on its orchestration and mu-
sical form, according to Sherwood.
Sherwood does not fit the popu-
lar "young composer" notion in all
respects. Herdid not, for instance,
begin his career at a very early
age.
Began Late
"As a matter of fact," Sherwood
related, "my interest in music
didn't really begin until I was 15
years old and a sophomore in high
school."
Up to that time, he continued,
other things interested him much
more. "My mother tried giving me
piano lessons," he laughed, "but
I'm afraid the effort was wasted
at the time."
Inspiration
His first real urge to become a
composer, Sherwood related, came
after hearing the New York Phil-
harmonic play Beethoven's Sev-
enth. "I admired Beethoven's mu-
sic so much," he added, "that it
was a long time before I discovered
that there were other composers."
Although Sherwood began his
formal training after entering Oli-
vet College in 1947, he had at-
tained some self-taught knowledge
before.
Sherwood's high school did not
have an accredited music course,
so he taught himself. "I'm afraid
that I paid attention to music at
the expense of my other subjects,"
Sherwood added.
Studies at Olivet
After two and one half years at
Olivet, Sherwood was forced to
stop school and work for six
months to support himself. In the
fall of 1950 he returned to school,
this time to Western Michigan
from which he graduated with a
Bachelor of Music degree.
Sherwood came to the Univer-
sity and earned his M.A. in 1955.
During his stay here he has stu-
died under many teachers in the
music school and has had several
of his pieces performed.
Assistant Librarian
At present he is working as an
assistant librarian in the Univer-
sity Music Library while attending
classes as a special student. He is
also hard at work on a sonata for
cello and piano which he hopes to
finish soon.
"After that," he said, "I want
to earn enough money to study at
a good school in Europe. For the
immediate future, however," he
concluded, "all I'm planning is
work, study and that trip to New
York."
Organist Plans
Recital Here
George Faxon, organist of the
'T'rinity Church of Boston, will pre-
sent a recital here at 8:30 p.m. on
April 4.
Faxon is also a professor at Bos-
ton University.
The recital will include "Tocca-
ta and Fugue in D minor" by
Bach, "Pageant" by Leo Sowerby
and "Arabesque" by Menotti.
Concluding the program will be
Ibert's "Musette" and "Resurrec-
tion - Symphonie of the Passion"
by Marcel Dupre.
The recital is being sponsored by
the School of Music.
