John Duffy Now Represented Exclusively by Schott Music Worldwide

We are pleased to announce that Schott Music now exclusively represents the complete catalogue of John Duffy. A composer of more than 300 works for orchestra, opera, theater, television and film, John Duffy is a two-time Emmy Award-winner and the recipient of the American Music Center Founders Award for Lifetime Achievement. He has also received an ASCAP award for special recognition in film and television music, a New York State Governor's Art Award and the (New York City) Mayor's Award of Honor for Arts and Culture.

Duffy has composed distinguished concert music for a variety of commissions, including the Emmy Award-winning score for the nine-hour PBS documentary Heritage: Civilization and the Jews. Of his many arrangements of individual titles from the complete Heritage score, his Heritage Symphonic Dances provide an ideal choice for pops programming. A collection of six short dance themes of differing cultural origins, Heritage Symphonic Dances possesses a celebratory spirit meant to commemorate the notion of freedom and cultural heritage and is available both as a set and as individual works for hire.

As founder and president of Meet the Composer, an organization dedicated to the creation, performance, and recording of music by American composers, he has initiated countless landmark programs to advance American music and to aid American composers. In addition, the John Duffy Composer's Institute, founded by the Virginia Arts Festival, is dedicated to the inspiration, creation, performance and recording of new music by living composers.

Other signature works by Duffy include: A Time for Remembrance, a peace cantata honoring the victims of war; Symphony No. 1: Utah, commissioned by the Sierra Club to draw attention to the preservation of the vast, beautiful public lands of Utah; Ready, Set, Go, an educational work for three percussionists; Concerto for Stan Getz; and his chamber opera Black Water with a libretto by Joyce Carol Oates that relates the events leading up to Mary Jo Kopechne's infamous drowning in a car driven by Senator Ted Kennedy on Martha's Vineyard in 1969. The opera was dubbed "an authentic masterpiece not to be missed" by LA Weekly.
