TheAspen Music Festival gives out the Jacob Druckman award in his honor each festival season.[5] The reward is given to an up-and-coming composer, who is then commissioned to write a piece to be performed in the next festival season, offering a chance for this new composer to show his or her talents.
Delizie Contente Che l'Alme Beate After Cavalli (1973), for wind quintet and tape
Lamia (1975), for mezzo-soprano and orchestra. "The texts," according to the composer, "range from the most terrifying damnings of ancient witches to the most innocent folkloric dream-conjuration of provincial maidens."[6]
