It’s An Honor To Be Nominated

The 51st Annual Grammy Awards nominations have been announced and the complete, 110-category list is available on the Grammy website. The “Best Classical Contemporary Composition” has Marc-Andre Dalbavie, Michael Gandolfi, John Corigliano, George Tsontakis, and Chris Walden vying for the sparkly statuette. Works by Meredith Monk, Elliott Carter, Tan Dun, and slate of new music performers, recording producers, and labels are also tucked into the listings. A bit strange to see Sweeney Todd in the “Best Compilation Soundtrack” category, but that’s Hollywood, I guess. And we haven’t even gotten to all that jazz yet! Get some coffee (you’ll need it!) and scan your way through all your favorite genre nominees here. And for the true Grammy obsessive, you can follow the twitter feed. -MS
