Composer, performer, educator, and founder of the New School of Music in Cambridge, MA. Nicholas Van Slyck's music has been performed to audience and critical acclaim in Europe and the U.S. His compositions range from large scale orchestra and chorus works to short duos and trios for winds and strings. There is an abundance of keyboard music: solo and four hand, sonatas, suites and concertos, as well as music suitable for teaching.

 Although much of Van Slyck's music was published by E. C. Schirmer, Willis, Southern, and General Music Publishing companies during his lifetime, when he passed away in 1983, he left behind many works that were never published. Now using Sibelius©, the same software used by the world’s largest sheet music publishers, these works are being published by Van Slyck 20th Century Music, and are available for purchase on this website in the form of printed sheet music or as PDF files.

In addition to these newly published works, original LP's featuring Van Slyck's performances and compositions are also available on this site. (See LP's for sale.)

It is one of the goals of this website to serve as a resource for researchers of music of the 20th century in general, or Nicholas Van Slyck in particular. All of his published music is listed here, as well as a full biography, and links to related websites. In the spirit of keeping great music alive, welcome to the site.
