	Pulitzer Prize for Music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially, the terms of the award were: "For a distinguished musical composition of significant dimension by an American that has had its first performance in the United States during the year.” Because of this, the work which won had rarely been recorded and sometimes had received only one performance.
		In 1996, after years of internal debate, the Pulitzer Prize board announced a change in the criteria for the music prize "so as to attract the best of a wider range of American music." [2] The result was that the following year Wynton Marsalis became the first jazz artist to win the Pulitzer Prize.
		The Board responded that the "Pulitzers are enhanced by having, in addition to the professional's point of view, the layman's or consumer's point of view," and they did not rescind their decision.

		Any musical utterance heard within the 50 states is now, in theory, eligible for a Pulitzer.
		Had the definition of the Pulitzer been forthright about who was really eligible and who wasn't, jazz composers and downtown composers could have regarded it with the same realistic lack of interest that rockers and film composers and so on have always done.
		But by broadening the purview of the prize, the Pulitzer board has increased rather than lessened the gap between its ostensible goals and the reality of what can be accomplished.

		The Pulitzer Prize has been honoring musicians since 1943, but only once in its six years, has the prize been awarded to a jazz composition, musical drama or film score.
		The Pulitzer Prize Board will announce today new guidelines that will redefine this prestigious award, and perhaps broaden the scope of what has been considered "serious" music.
		The current definition of the prize reads: "For distinguished musical composition of significant dimension by an American that has had its first performance in the United States during the year." The revised definition drops the words significant dimension, and adds that a recording will be considered to be on par with a first performance.
