普利策音樂獎

普利策音樂獎（Pulitzer Prize for Music）是普利策獎的七個獎項之一，獎勵戲劇和音樂家。它源自1943年約瑟夫·普利策建立的一個獎學金^[1]，該獎每年頒發，只有1965年無人得獎^[2]。

批評

1974年普利策音樂獎得主唐納德·馬蒂諾說：「如果你寫的音樂足夠長，遲早有人會看你可憐並頒給你這該死的東西。它並不總是獎給年度最好的作品，而只是獎給之前沒得它的人」^[3]。2001年得主約翰·科里利亞諾也說這獎根本不是頒給對這世界有意義的作品，而是由作曲家互相頒發^[4]。2003年得主約翰·亞當斯說美國大多數的優秀音樂作品都被它忽略了^[4]。

1998年，作曲家和音樂評論家凱爾·甘恩說普利策音樂獎和其他頂級作曲獎的評委幾乎一直是岡瑟·舒勒、約瑟夫·施萬特納、雅克布·德魯克曼、喬治·波爾、約翰·哈比森、馬里奧·大衛朵夫斯基和伯納德·蘭德這七人。他說這些「上城區」的白人評委一貫以歐洲中心主義的審美來審作品，他們確定了過去二十年中美國音樂獎項的得主，而「下城區」的作曲家從來沒有份。^[5]
