Caroline Shaw-6





Remember to leave a comment.


Caroline Shaw was the youngest recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 2013 at the age of 30! Her winning composition is titled:

Partita for 8 Voices (click the link to listen, Ms. Shaw is one of the performers)

Also a 2022 Grammy Award winner: Narrow Sea

She is from North Carolina and like many other composers, including Mozart and Beethoven, her first teacher was a parent (Mother). She began playing the violin at two years old and composed her first music at ten!

Interesting fact: Kanye West has used her music on one of his albums.

Here are some more examples (they are really interesting):

String Quartet

Music in Common Time (very beautiful music)

Its Motion Keeps (music for children's choir)

Microfictions

    Dear Caroline Shaw,
    I learned that you started playing the piano at 2 old and composed a symphony at age of 10. The 8 voices song was funny😂
