The UNCG School of Music has been recognized for years as one of the elite
music institutions in the United States. Fully accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Music since 1938, the School offers the only
comprehensive music program from undergraduate through doctoral study in
both performance and music education in North Carolina. From a total
population of approximately 14,000 university students, the UNCG School of
Music serves nearly 600 music majors with a full-time faculty and staff of more
than sixty. As such, the UNCG School of Music ranks among the largest
Schools of Music in the South.
The UNCG School of Music now occupies a new 26 million dollar music building
which is among the finest music facilities in the nation. In fact, the new music
building is the second-largest academic building on the UNCG Campus. A large
music library with state-of-the-art playback, study and research facilities houses
all music reference materials. Greatly expanded classroom, studio, practice
room, and rehearsal hall spaces are key components of the new structure. Two
new recital halls, a large computer lab, a psychoacoustics lab, electronic music
labs, and recording studio space are additional features of the new facility. In
addition, an enclosed multi-level parking deck is adjacent to the new music
building to serve students, faculty and concert patrons.
Living in the artistically thriving Greensboro—Winston-Salem—High Point “Triad”
area, students enjoy regular opportunities to attend and perform in concerts
sponsored by such organizations as the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, the
Greensboro Opera Company, and the Eastern Music Festival. In addition,
UNCG students interact first-hand with some of the world’s major artists who
frequently schedule informal discussions, open rehearsals, and master classes
at UNCG.
Costs of attending public universities in North Carolina, both for in-state and out-of-
state students, represent a truly exceptional value in higher education.

Vally Weigl:
Beyond Time (song cycle from Frederika Blankner’s Secret Bread)
1. Desert Is Not
Desert is not if love is got and taken there
Desert if not is every, everywhere.
2. Remainder
Eyes do not lie, and so,
Robbed of the afterglow,
Caught in this laughter-woe,
I must remember:
Once without anodyne
How your eyes came in mine
And through an opened door
I saw as then before
friend beyond time
and love more than lover.
Is it because you fear
Spirit that is too near?
Is it because you die
Rather than falsify?
Be it or not, I have
Something in this to keep:
Once you looked deep, yes deep,
And what I saw no sleep can undiscover.
And what I saw, I keep, keep it forever.
3. The Hills Have Great Hearts
The hills have great hearts
And I can hear them beating.
The hearts in the hills.
But the hills’ hearts are deep,
Too deep for finding.
I have no home:
In all of earth I have no home.
All towns are strange,
All ways are wandering.
I have no home.
Your heart could have held me.
Your heart could have held me?
I have no home.
God is my home,
God is so far!
I have no home,
Nowhere on earth.
4. Happy Summer
In time it is so brief a span
Since we began to be apart
In space it is too long a race
For any planet but the heart.
5. Fill! Fill the Cup!
Fill! Fill the cup!
I only pray to drink it;
Break, break my heart.
Whole it is too small for human love,
Broken, broken it will hold Infinite.
6. Treasure
Why you should love me I did not know:
That it should end, Inevitably so.
Yet through the time of life,
Faithful the memory,
Fragrance for weariness, for weariness,
You loved me.
