Commissioned Music
Each year JAM commissions a major piece of music, from an established composer, to headline its annual music programme. Commissions must be written for the JAM forces; chorus, SATB soloists, brass quintet and organ. A JAM commission should last approximately twenty minutes.
Submitted Music
Composers, whether students or not, from across the UK, are invited to submit new music, written for choir, brass or organ, or any combination of the three. This adds a great educational discipline; that of having to write for a specific musical force. Whilst these are not common forces, when handled well they are very effective. The project's panel looks at every piece submitted before deciding on the project's annual programme. This is then performed at various locations around the UK.
Anyone of any age or stage may submit music to the project.
