Caroline Adelaide Shaw (born 1982) is a New York City-based violinist, singer, and composer. She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013 for her a cappella piece ''Partita for 8 Voices''. == Biography == Shaw was born in Greenville, North Carolina and began playing the violin when she was two years old. Her mother was her first teacher. She began writing music when she was ten years old, mostly in imitation of the chamber music of Mozart and Brahms. At the time, her main focus was on violin performance. Shaw received her Bachelor of Music (violin performance) from Rice University in 2004, and her master's degree (violin) from Yale University in 2007. She entered the PhD program in composition in Princeton University in 2010. At 30, Shaw became the youngest recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music for her composition ''Partita for 8 Voices''. The jury citation praised the composition as "a highly polished and inventive a cappella work uniquely embracing speech, whispers, sighs, murmurs, wordless melodies and novel vocal effects."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Pulitzer Prizes – Citation )〕 The work comprises four movements inspired by the baroque dance forms: Allemande, Sarabande, Courante and Passacaglia. A recording of the work was released by New Amsterdam Records on 30 October 2012, performed by the ensemble Roomful of Teeth. According to Steven Mackey, chair of the Department of Music at Princeton, this is the first Pulitzer Prize awarded to a member of the department. (Milton Babbitt was awarded a Pulitzer citation in 1982 for his life's work as a composer.)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Princeton University – UPDATE: Princeton's Caroline Shaw wins Pulitzer Prize for music )〕 Besides composition, Shaw is known as a musician appearing in many guises.
