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.

Si j’étais jardinier
If I were a gardener of the sky,
I would gather stars for you!
Your eyes would glow like jewels
If I were a gardener of the sky.
In the pale night under your vale
Your glaring eyes would be so radiant.
If I were a gardener of the sky,
I would gather stars for you!
If I were a gardener of love,
I would catch your caresses.
I would feast you all day,
If I were a gardener of love.
In their unique tendernesses
You, I would court, with my bouquet.
If I were a gardener of love,
I would catch your caresses.
But my garden is only that of songs.
And you can gather the same.
God, for their nests there made bushes
And my garden is only that of songs.
Come there to dream if your heart loves me
And I will tremble.
But my garden is only that of songs
And you can gather the same.
Leid
For me, her hand would pick some roses.
At this bush, like her, still sacredly blossomed, a dear harvest.
The bunch, alas! Is withered like her also;
The harvester girl harvested rests here.
But on the tombstone that you cover, oh my love!
An englantine, which halfway open, smiles still,
And beneath the bush which overhangs, when I return,
A voice says to me, beneath the grave:
“I remember.”
Rend’il sereno al ciglio
Peace unto you from Heaven,
Mother, cry no more!
Cry no more, no!
Fear not, your troubled heart.
Can you do this today?
