U.VA. PROFESSOR'S MUSIC RETURNS TO NEW YORK'S MERKIN HALL
	CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov. 22 -- The Chamber Music Society
of the Lincoln Center will feature "Glyph," a musical composition by
University of Virginia music professor Judith Shatin, as a part of
its "Music of Our Time" series at New York's Merkin Hall on Dec. 4
at 8 p.m..
	"Glyph" returns to Merkin Hall after its 1984 premiere by
violist Rosemary Glyde and the Manhattan String Quartet.  Shatin,
chair of U.Va.'s McIntire Department of Music, scored the
composition for solo viola, string quartet and piano at the Virginia
Center for Creative Arts.  Commissioned by Glyde, "Glyph" has been
performed on numerous other occasions including the International
Viola Congress at the New England Conservatory.
	Shatin's work will be featured at Merkin Hall in a concert
along with the music of Toru Takemitsu, Olivier Messiaen,
Christopher Culpo, and David Diamond.  The pre-concert dialogue will
begin at 7:30 p.m. with noted violist Paul Neubaur as soloist.
	Shatin, who directs the Virginia Center for Computer Music
at U.Va., has won national acclaim for her innovative use of
traditional and computerized techniques.  Her works have been
performed by symphonies in Denver, Houston, Minnesota and Richmond
and by such ensembles as the Da Capo Chamber Players, Contemporary
Music Forum, New Performance Group of Seattle and the E.A.R. Unit in
California.
