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.

Giovanni Domenico da Nola:
Ahi, dolce sonno
Ahi dolce sonno, ah lieto e bel dormire
Ch’ogni ben mi donast’in un momento!
Et hor arder mi sento
E fra me stesso spasmo e mi spavento
Ah, fair slumber, ah, delightful sleep,
which gave me all good in one moment!
And now I feel myself burning
and inwardly I swoon and tremble.
Deh, ciel, perché non fai che ‘l
senso desto
Tanta dolcezza goda in manifesto,
E qual hor mi fa desto,
Mi faccia lieto in un soccorso presto?
Ah heaven, why dost thou not allow the
awakened sense
To enjoy such sweetness fully,
And whenever is awakens me,
To rejoice me with its speedy aid?
Vincenzo Ruffo:
Il nostro gran dolore
Il nostro gran dolore, Oh voi cinti d’alloro
Del vostr’alto piacer non fia minore
Né potreste già voi tanto gioire
Che non ne pianga tanto il nostro core
Our great grief, O ye laurel crowned,
by your high pleasure is not lessened;
nor can ye so much rejoice
but that our heart can grieve as much.
La morte tolse al mondo questo tale
Per dare a noi mortali aspro martire
E per giovare a voi spiriti felici
Svèlto del nostro ben n’ha le radici
Death took from the world such a one
to give us mortals a bitter pang,
and to serve you blessed spirits
he has torn up our happiness by the roots.
Philippe Verdelot:
Quando nascesti, Amore?
Quando nascesti, Amore?
— Quando la terra si riveste di verde
et bel colore.
When were you born, Love?
— When the earth decks itself again in green
and lovely colors.
Allor di che nascesti?
— D'un ardore che otio et lascivia in se
richiud' et serra.
Of what were you born then?
— Of ardor that binds and locks sloth and
wantonness tightly within.
Che ti constringe a farne tanta guerra?
— Calda speranza et gelido timore.
What makes you battle so?
— Fervent hope and gelid fear.
In cui fai la tua stanza?
— In gentil core che sotto il mio valor tosto
s'atterra.
Where is your abode?
— In a kind heart that by my prowess is soon
vanquished.
Chi fu la tua nutrice?
— Giovinezza.
Who was your nurse?
— Youth.
Et le serve che furno a lei d’intorno?
— Vanità, gelosia, pomp' et bellezza.
And the maid-servants who surrounded you?
— Vanity, jealousy, pride, and beauty.
Di che ti pasci?
— D'un parlare adorno.
On what are you nourished?
— On sweet talk.
Offendeti la morte o la vecchiaia?
— No, che io rinasco mille volt' il giorno.
Can death or old age affect you?
— No, for I’m reborn a thousand times a day.
