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 12,700
university students, the UNCG School of Music serves over 575 music majors with a
full-time faculty and staff of 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 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 adjoins 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.

This fragment stands out among Mozart's compositions for several reasons, the most
perplexing being that it was not produced in response to a commission. No one really
knows what prompted him to begin -- then set aside -- this truly magnificent work.
It may have been inspired by guilt over the falling out with his father, his move to
Vienna, and his marriage -- against Leopold's wishes -- to Constanze. It may have
been inspired by a fascination with the cantata-like masses of J.S. Bach, to which
Mozart might have been recently introduced.
Mozart completed the Kyrie, the Gloria, the Credo as far as the Et incarnatus, and
left incomplete drafts of the Sanctus and the Benedictus. The second part of the
Credo and the entire Agnus Dei are missing.

Charles Lynam received the B.A. in Music Education from Elon College and the
M.A. in Music Education from New York University. Advanced graduate study has
included work at Indiana University with Dorothy Mansky, Paul Matthen, and Ralph
Apelmann, as well as training with Hans Heinz in New York City and Erika
Buchmann in Heidelburg, Germany. Lynam has performed extensively in recital,
oratorio, opera, and orchestral concerts. He was the recipient of a UNCG Alumni
Teaching Excellence Award in 1979 and was named Teacher of the Year in the
School of Music for 1999. Many of his students have fared well in vocal
competitions at the local, district, regional, and national levels (particularly in the
Metropolitan Opera Auditions), and are now successful professional singers.
Numerous others are teaching at leading colleges and universities.
University Chamber Singers
The Chamber Singers, a very select group of eighteen graduate and advanced
undergraduate music majors, is the School's newest vocal ensemble. Its
performances include a variety of a cappella and accompanied repertory featuring the
groups' outstanding solo voices.
University Chorale
The University Chorale, a select group of about forty-five upperclass and graduate
men and women, has performed with distinction both in the United States and
abroad. The Chorale has appeared by invitation at the National Cathedral and the
Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and for the divisional conventions of the
American Choral Directors Association and the Music Educators National
Conference.
Mozart mentioned the work in a letter to his father in January, 1783. Leopold had
reminded his son of his pledge to visit Salzburg. "I made a promise in my heart of
hearts," Mozart replied, "and hope to be able to keep it." He continued: "The score of
half a mass, which is still lying here waiting to be finished, is the best proof that I
really made the promise." He and Constanze visited Salzburg later that year, and
Mozart conducted a performance of the incomplete work at St. Peter's Abbey on
October 26, probably filling in the missing parts with movements from his other
masses. Tradition has it that Constanze sang one of the soprano parts.
The visit to Salzburg yielded few other positive results. There was no patching up the
break between Mozart and his father, and to make matters worse both Leopold and
Mozart's sister, Maria Anna, gave Mozart's bride a chilly reception.
After this visit, the composer never returned to Salzburg. And though the music of
the C Minor Mass was later recycled as the cantata Davidde Penitente, the work
itself was never finished and faded into obscurity, to be revived only in this century.
