Polar Music<br />
Prize 2001<br />
KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN<br />
The Polar Music Prize presented by the<br />
Stig Anderson Music Prize Fund of the<br />
Royal Swedish Academy of Music has<br />
been awarded in 2001 to three winners<br />
for the first time. They are the American<br />
composer Burt Bacharach, the engineer<br />
Robert Moog and the German composer<br />
Karlheinz Stockhausen. The prize –<br />
1,000,000 Swedish kronor to each – is<br />
one of the most substantial and prestigious<br />
music prizes in the world and will<br />
be given for the 10th time to the prize<br />
winners at a ceremony to be held in<br />
Stockholm on May 14th by the King of<br />
Sweden.<br />
Burt Bacharach, composer, arranger,<br />
record producer and pianist, is being<br />
awarded the Polar Music Prize for his<br />
achievements as an architect of contemporary<br />
music. He has been a principal<br />
player on the musical scene ever since his<br />
debut in the late 1950s, producing a host<br />
of timeless classics stemming from his infallible<br />
feeling for powerful, memorable<br />
and unmistakably personal melodies and<br />
for brilliantly designed harmony.<br />
Robert Moog is awarded the prize for<br />
his design of the MiniMoog, the first<br />
compact, easy-to-use synthesizer, which<br />
paved the way to the realm of electronic<br />
sounds that has revolutionised all genres<br />
of music during the past half-century. He<br />
is still developing instruments but his first<br />
inventions have since been further developed<br />
by Roland, Sony and other producers<br />
of modern synthesizers.<br />
Karlheinz Stockhausen is awarded the<br />
prize for a career as a composer that has<br />
been characterized by impeccable integrity<br />
and never-ceasing creativity, and for<br />
having stood at the forefront of musical<br />
development for fifty years. His list of<br />
works is very comprehensive (285 to<br />
date) and he has also published books<br />
which have a worldwide reputation and<br />
are of the greatest importance.<br />

<strong>Lars</strong> Johan Werle<br />
receives<br />
Atterberg Prize<br />
<strong>Lars</strong> Johan Werle has been awarded the<br />
Atterberg Prize for the year 2000. The jury’s<br />
motivation is as follows: “Ever since<br />
the international music days in Bilthoven<br />
in 1960, where <strong>Lars</strong> Johan Werle won first<br />
prize in all categories for his string quartet<br />
Pentagram, <strong>Lars</strong> Johan Werle has been<br />
one of our most acclaimed composers.<br />
Due to his undogmatic and creative production,<br />
above all in the fields of musical<br />
drama and choral music, Werle has today<br />
a firm place in Swedish musical life. Werle<br />
has also been involved in political activity<br />
concerning music and has worked to<br />
improve his colleagues’ situation. His pedagogical<br />
work with opera students in<br />
Sweden and abroad has also contributed<br />
to the understanding of new musical drama.”<br />
The prize was presented at the regular<br />
ceremony on December 17th at STIM. At<br />
the same event, the writer Oscar Hedlund<br />
was awarded STIM’s Author’s<br />
Award.<br />
