    Life[edit]

    Wendelburg was born in Stafford, Kansas, and won a scholarship to Bethany College (Kansas) where she received a B.M. degree. Wendelburg received a M.M. degree from the University of Michigan, where she studied composition with Ross Lee Finney and Homer Keller,[2] and piano with John Kollen. In 1948, she received a fellowship from the Wellesley Composers Conference and Chamber Music Center, where she studied with Otto Luening and Ingolf Dahl.[3] She attended the Tanglewood Music Center in 1953 on scholarship and studied with Carlos Chavez. As a Fulbright scholar from 1953 to 1955, Wendelburg studied with Cesar Bresgen at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, and with Karl Schiske at the Academy of Music in Vienna.[3][4] She received her Ph.D. from Eastman School of Music in 1969,[5] where she held a research fellowship and studied with Wayne Barlow and Bernard Rogers.[6]

    Wendelburg belonged to the music fraternity Sigma Alpha Iota[7] and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP). She received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony and the Huntington Hartford Foundation.[8]

    Over the years, Wendelburg taught at Wayne State College (Nebraska); her alma mater Bethany College; Hardin-Simmons University (Texas); Southwest Texas State University; Dallas Baptist College;[9] and Iowa State Teacher's College (today known as the University of North Iowa).
