Kernis won the Grawemeyer this year, a few weeks ago - that's why when I saw the posting about his Pulitzer a week or so after his winning the Grawemeyer (while I couldn't find anything on the net about his Pulitzer), I thought there was a confusion about the two awards. I'm very enthusiastic about 20th-C music; that's why when I see composers like Kernis or Corigliano winning awards for their tepid, easy neo-tonal pabulum, I'm quite appalled. Thanks goodness Carter, Boulez, and others do get some recognition as well. -Margaret
