Overview of PML Submission Process
Call for UIL Large Ensemble Submissions
The University Interscholastic League accepts new large ensemble submissions for inclusion in the UIL Prescribed Music List from September 1 through December 1.
The submission portal for the 2023-2024 school year is now open.
This document serves as the repertoire guide for the approximately 500,000 music students and 3,800 performing organizations in the state of Texas. You can view the current PML at:
http://www.uiltexas.org/music/pml
The selection committees welcome the opportunity to review any current year releases for concert band, choir, string and full orchestra. Music published prior to the current year will not be considered unless it has not been recently submitted. Additions to the list will appear in the PML in the fall of the year following consideration.
As part of a Diversity Initiative in music literature, the UIL encourages the submission of works from underrepresented composer groups and/or cultures. The University Interscholastic League (UIL) does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age in its programs.
Concert Music for Band, Choir, and Orchestra
Large ensemble concert music will be submitted electronically. The following link will take you to the portal where you can submit a pdf of scores plus a link to online recordings. If no recording link is available you will have the option of submitting an mp3 with the score.
Go to: http://www.uiltexas.org/pml-submissions and follow the steps prescribed on the submission page.
(Submissions link will be active beginning September 1st. Deadline for submissions is December 1st.)
The following requirements will be in effect for all submissions.
- Scores must be engraved, camera ready and available for distribution.
- Recordings must be actual performances. No midi files will be reviewed.
Access to the submissions will be password protected and only available to UIL staff and committee members.
Solo & Small Ensemble Review Schedule
Committees will be established for the specific purpose of updating solo & small ensemble literature. Solos & small ensembles will be reviewed on the following schedule. Input may be submitted directly to the committee members up until March 1 of the review period.
