Beyond “Getting Ready to Sing”:
Creating Symbiosis between
Warm-ups and Repertoire
Hilton Minneapolis, 3rd floor
Grand Ballroom E, F, and G
Singers learn more effectively and
perform more musically when choral
warm-ups relate to the music being
rehearsed. When conductors identify
the important musical problems in
the repertoire, they are able to design
musical solutions to teach in the form
of warm-ups—before their singers
ever encounter them in the score.
The clincians will use choruses from
Handel’s Messiah to demonstrate how
easy it is to design repertoire-specific
exercises and how using them can
better facilitate learning than using
generic warm-ups. This hands-on
session is designed for conductors and
teachers of all levels of ensembles.
All that is needed is a pencil, willing-
ness to participate, and an open and
creative mind.

Fooling Father Time: The Art and
Science of Engaging Rehearsals
Minneapolis Convention Center
Meeting Room M100 A, B, I, and J
In recent years, scientists have
made great strides in unraveling the
mysteries of the brain, in particular
how people learn, retain, and recall
information. At the same time, in
our increasingly connected digital
age, the demands for our singers’
attention have grown, challenging a
conductor’s ability to maintain singer
focus during rehearsal. Fortunately,
the fields of cognitive neuroscience
and social psychology have provided
educators with excellent tools for in-
creasing student engagement in the
classroom. Topics covered in this ses-
sion will include embedding problem
solving and novelty into rehearsal,
creating accountability, encouraging
multiple entry points for information,
and teaching students to self-monitor
and make connections.

Active Aging and
the Choral Ensemble
Minneapolis Convention Center
Auditorium Room 2
The wave of interest in singers in
their Third Age (sixty years and over)
has grown steadily over the last ten
years, and research has shown that
efforts to increase active aging among
senior adults increases community
participation and well-being. While
voice scientists explain physiological
changes to the body and voice, edu-
cators and conductors are applying
adaptive techniques to maintain and
enhance the ensemble experience of
older church and community choir
members. This session will provide
strategies for harnessing the motiva-
tions and learning styles of Third Ag-
ers within physiological boundaries
to more fully engage them in active
aging.

How a Conductor Thinks: Real-Time
Decision Making in the Rehearsal
Minneapolis Convention Center

Do I stop for that? What are the
most effective techniques to “fix”
things? Are first rehearsals different
from second rehearsals? What are
the roles of the conductor’s energy,
high expectations, humor, and im-
provisation in creating efficient and
productive rehearsals? Using an

ensemble composed of volunteer
singers from the audience, the clini-
cian will demonstrate and reflect
on the conductor’s preparation and
decision-making process as he leads

One Sky, Many Destinies:
Collaborating across the
Prison-University Divide
Hilton Minneapolis, 3rd floor
Grand Ballroom E, F, and G
In a world where exposure to
concert music is limited to few, it
is critical to create access for those
who are typically denied, such as the
homeless and the incarcerated. In
2015, the University of San Francisco
Choral Ensembles collaborated with
the students in a Massachusetts prison
music class. The culminating concert
included choral works on the subjects
of conflict and universalism and read-
ings from the prisoner’s artistic work.
The students were transformed by the
exchange as a reminder that our com-
mon humanity is well served through
such musical collaboration. The clini-
cians will discuss this collaboration in
hopes that this exchange will inspire
similar innovative projects.

A Voice of Reason: Social Justice, the
Greater Good, and Why We Sing
Minneapolis Convention Center
Meeting Room M100 A, B, I, and J
Much of our instructional energy
focuses on the tangible elements of
our craft—the development of a
healthy vocalism, literacy, style, mu-
sic history, etc. While these concepts
are critical to the success of our en-
sembles, the ineffable draws us in and
leaves us changed. The Greek Chorus
points to an inextricable link between
collective voice and reason. In recent
years, choirs have begun to prioritize
social justice as a mode of expression
and focus. This session will explore
several models of this practice focus-
ing on the work of the Sydney Street
Choir, Xara Choral Theater, and
Concept: Freedom—an independent
project addressing human trafficking

Minneapolis Convention Center
Meeting Room M100 A, B, I, and J
We all love Appalachian folk songs
as an integral part of our American
music history, but how do we translate
that high-lonesome mountain voice
tradition to our ensembles? This
session will cover many popular Ap-
palachian tunes, identifying stylistic
changes that can be made to existing
choral arrangements to perform them
within the Appalachian tradition.
Dialect, timbre, instrumentation,
and healthy vocal technique will be
addressed via a hands-on approach
using specific choral literature.

Boys to Men: Building an
Intergenerational Male Choir
Minneapolis Convention Center
Ballroom A
Very few choirs performing at a
superb level of choral excellence suc-
ceed at bringing together singers of
different age ranges, much less across
several generations. This session will
demonstrate how an internationally
acclaimed men’s choir is creating “A
Life of Song” within its own ranks.
This interactive session will combine
a demonstration by Great Northern
Union with a discussion of how the
chorus has been able to consistently
attract male singers of all ages and
prepare them to sing together at the
highest level.

Collegiate Vocal Jazz:
Learning from Our Legacy
Hilton Minneapolis, 3rd floor
Grand Ballroom E, F, and G
Vocal jazz came into existence in
the 1930s and expanded with profes-
sional groups such as the The Four
Freshmen, the Hi-Lo’s, the Singers
Unlimited, The Manhattan Transfer,
Take 6, and New York Voices. It was
woven into collegiate choral pro-
grams and exploded in the 1970s and

’80s under the direction of legendary
educators. This session will focus on
the incredible legacy built by these dis-
tinguished teachers, the current trends
of vocal jazz education, and explore
the direction that vocal jazz education
could be moving in the future. Each
panelist studied and worked closely
with many of the most renowned
vocal jazz pedagogues and will share
what they have learned and are now
implementing in their own programs.

to a necessity. In this environment,
the most efficient way for a choral

Interfaith/Multicultural
Programming: Jewish Choral Music
from the Sephardic and
Ashkenazic Traditions
Hilton Minneapolis, 2nd floor
Marquette Ballroom 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9
Sephardic Jews are descendants of
Spain where Ladino was the spoken
language. Ashkenazi Jews come from
the “Pale of Settlement” in Eastern
Europe where Yiddish was the ver-
nacular. This session will introduce
and explore a sampling of the choral
repertoire available in these two lan-
guages, each a hybrid language of
its own. Ladino is similar to Spanish
with Latin roots, and Yiddish is simi-
lar to German. Music selected will
be appropriate for any high school,
college, church, or community choir.
The session will introduce conductors
to music that can be programmed to
help break down cultural barriers by
focusing on our similarities rather
than differences.

on indigenous pedagogies, oral tradi-

repertoire suitable for the building of
musical skills in the western choral

with information that will empower
and guide the choral conductor to
multicultural repertoire that is often
overlooked or unfamiliar.

Do I stop for that? What are the
most effective techniques to “fix”
things? Are first rehearsals different
from second rehearsals? What are the
roles of the conductor’s energy, high
expectations, humor, and improvisa-
tion in creating efficient and produc-

composed of volunteer singers from
the audience, the clinician will dem-
onstrate and reflect on the conductor’s

One Sky, Many Destinies:
Collaborating across the
Prison-University Divide
In a world where exposure to
concert music is limited to few, it
is critical to create access for those
who are typically denied, such as the
homeless and the incarcerated. In
2015, the University of San Francisco
Choral Ensembles collaborated with
the students in a Massachusetts prison
music class. The culminating concert
included choral works on the subjects
of conflict and universalism and read-
ings from the prisoner’s artistic work.
The students were transformed by the
exchange as a reminder that our com-
mon humanity is well served through
such musical collaboration. The clini-
cians will discuss this collaboration in
hopes that this exchange will inspire
similar innovative projects.

New Ways to Improve your
Conducting Gesture
Hilton Minneapolis, 2nd floor
Marquette Ballroom 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9
Conducting and singing are both
highly athletic, a balancing act of ten-
sion and relaxation. Singers absorb

incredible amounts of information
from conductors, conscious and
subconscious. Given that, what are
we showing our singers through our
use of our body? Is our gesture as
fluid, organic, graceful, and clear as
we would like? Are we able to consis-
tently be at our best physically? Us-
ing insights garnered from athletics,
this session will explore methods for
creating and deepening a conductor’s
connection with the body aiming to
improve conducting grace and clar-
ity. Attendees will be led through a
kinesthetic self-assessment, intended
as a foundation for further indepen-
dent practice.

stereotypical masculine attributes to

Got a Mind to Do Right:
Approaching, Discussing, and

Minneapolis Convention Center
Meeting Room M100 D, E, F, and G
This session will aim to inspire
directors and choirs to prepare and
perform arranged spirituals in a
way that recognizes spirituals for the
life-affirming art they are. The panel
will take as its point of departure a
dialogue about race, power, repre-
sentation, and consent that took place
in the Swarthmore College Garnet
Singers surrounding the program-
ming and performance of Alice
Parker’s arrangement of the spiritual
“I Got Shoes.” Attendees will gain
new perspectives on how to talk about
spirituals, how to rehearse and pres-
ent arranged spirituals in an informed
and respectful way, and the meanings
spirituals can hold for contemporary
listeners.

Jazz Choral Music for Kids!
Minneapolis Convention Center
Meeting Room M100 A, B, I, and J
Looking for great repertoire to
acquaint your younger singers with
jazz but struggling to find exactly
what you need? While the body of
jazz choral repertoire for mixed
voices is growing, appropriate, qual-
ity repertoire for younger voices may
be a challenge to find. Additionally,
young singers often do not have expe-
rience or background with jazz, and
introducing the genre may provide
challenges. This session will present
techniques to teach the jazz idiom
to younger singers and introduce
repertoire that has been written or
arranged specifically with younger
singers in mind.

Music Literacy in the

Hilton Minneapolis, 3rd floor

One of the challenges that el-
ementary choral directors often face
is building in quality time for music
literacy during rehearsals. Rehearsal
time is limited, and we often find
ourselves focusing on the preparation

and demands of upcoming perfor-
mances and concerts. This workshop
will guide participants through a series
of activities, warm-ups, techniques,
visuals, and strategies, all implement-
ing Conversational Solfège. Attendees
will also be guided through carefully
sequenced and fun games that help
to create a positive choral rehearsal
climate that will enable students to

In this panel discussion, editors and

lay the groundwork for engaging cho-
ral ensemble members in composing
in choral classrooms. Acknowledging
performance as the principal musical
behavior in which choral ensembles
engage, panelists will offer compelling
arguments for including composition
as a constituent of any comprehensive
choral curriculum. Panelists will also
discuss historical trends leading to

The Active Choir: Using West African

Choral Rehearsals and Performance
Minneapolis Convention Center
Auditorium Room 3
Movement and activity have a
well-documented positive effect on
the sound of our choirs. West African
Dance is a full-body, high-energy ex-
perience requiring both coordination
and communication and control of
the body and the mind. During this
session we will examine how sing-
ers’ bodies transform during dance
and how our thinking and attention
are developed through movement.
Audience members will explore the
positive outcomes of incorporating

Creating Safe People:
Honoring LGBTQ Singers
in the Choral Classroom
Minneapolis Convention Center
Auditorium Room 1
Though they are not always
openly acknowledged, singers bring
their gender and sexual/affectional
identities to the process of rehearsing,
interpreting, and performing choral
music. More can be done to explic-
itly value, honor, and respect singers’
experiences and identities. This sess-
sion will introduce practical tools for
how choral conductor-teachers can
become such people by providing
research-based findings regarding
LGBTQ perspectives on repertoire
selection, analysis, and rehearsal
processes. An updated perspective
may include changes regarding, for
example, the interpretation of texts
and the teaching of background in-
formation about texts, lyricists, and
composers. Beyond providing a safe
space, the choral classroom can also
be a place in which singers can freely
express their gender and affectional
identities in a way that enriches the
choral experience for all.

Embodied and Expressive:
Mapping the Choral Gesture for
Poised Performance
Minneapolis Convention Center
Meeting Room M100 A, B, I, and J
Effective choral conductors are
artistic communicators with the abil-
ity to empower their singers. Body
Mapping is a self-inquiry somatic
(mind-body) education technique
designed to teach musicians skills
of self-evaluation and change for
performing with sensory-motor in-
tegrity. The underlying premise of
Body Mapping is the importance of
understanding the neurophysiological
connections in the human body that
lead to freedom of movement and
the skills for embodied performing.
This session will introduce the key
principles and scientific basis for Body
Mapping (including motor and mir-
ror neurons), while the practical focus
will be mapping the choral gesture.

Enhancing the Choral Art through
Dalcroze Eurhythmics
Hilton Minneapolis, 3rd floor
Grand Ballroom E, F, and G
This session introduces attendees
to the Dalcroze approach and its
application to the choral art by pro-
viding practical tools for enhancing
rehearsals and performances. The
goals of Dalcroze Eurhythmics are to
develop and increase focus, rhythmic
integrity, expression, musicianship
skills, and social interaction. The
presenters will demonstrate these
techniques utilizing a variety of mu-
sical examples. Varied difficulty of
repertoire will be used to show appli-
cation of the Dalcroze approach with
diverse types, age ranges, and ability
levels. The session will also include
video examples illustrating Dalcroze
rehearsal techniques in action.

feel confident about the piece from
the very first rehearsal. Armed with
a plan, we arrive at the first rehearsal
having mapped out exactly how to
give our singers a sense of ownership
and excitement from that important
first meeting. This session focuses on
rehearsal techniques in the context
of real score examples and provides
tools for how to advocate for yourself
and your singers on issues of notation
when working with a composer on a
new work.

 J.A.C. REDFORD
Composer of the ACDA Raymond W. Brock
Memorial Commission 2017

Image © Lancia E. Smith

“It is always a huge pleasure to work with JAC Redford, whether

in film music, which we often do, in which he is a master at
orchestration, or as a composer in his own right. His choral
music is so eloquently written, with the singer in mind, and it
has been a privilege to record a number of his recent works.”
– Ben Parry,
Assistant Director of Music,
Choir of King’s College Cambridge

“Redford’s compositional style is marked by melodies that hold in

the mind; by rhythms that are always propulsive, however gently
or forcefully; and by harmonies that vary in color and intensity…”
– Peter Rutenberg,
Los Angeles Chamber Singers

“[His is] work of intense feeling and beauty, written with

impeccable craft and emotional depth...replete with counterpoint,
beautiful color and tension-heightening harmonic progression.
His use of dissonance is masterful and effective.”
– Barlow Bradford,
Utah Chamber Artists

“Rarely in American choral music composition does a voice arise

as distinct as that of JAC Redford. My choirs always find his
music engaging intellectually and emotionally. His setting of Rest
Now, My Sister is one of the most beautifully crafted and moving
works I know for orchestra and chorus. His setting of love is the
every only god, on poems by E. E. Cummings, is not only rife with
melodic beauty, but it serves as a fantastic teaching piece
because of its voice leading and harmonic vocabularies.”
– Jerry McCoy,
ACDA National President 2009-2011

The Active Choir: Using West African
Drumming and Dance to Augment
Choral Rehearsals and Performance
Minneapolis Convention Center
Auditorium Room 3
Movement and activity have a
well-documented positive effect on
the sound of our choirs. West African
Dance is a full-body, high-energy ex-
perience requiring both coordination
and communication and control of
the body and the mind. During this
session we will examine how sing-
ers’ bodies transform during dance
and how our thinking and attention
are developed through movement.
Audience members will explore the
positive outcomes of incorporating

Kenneth Jennings was an acclaimed
composer, arranger of choral music,
and conductor. He was appointed to
the faculty of St. Olaf College in 1953
and became the third director of the
internationally renowned St. Olaf Choir
in 1968. He earned his bachelor’s from
St. Olaf College, a master’s from Oberlin College, and
his doctorate from the University of Illinois. During his
thirty-seven-year tenure at St. Olaf—the last twenty-two
of which were as conductor of the St. Olaf Choir—Jen-
nings established himself as a consummate artist. He led
the choir on twelve international tours, which greatly ex-
panded the choir’s global outreach. Jennings was a teacher
and mentor to many prominent choral conductors in the
United States. After his retirement from St. Olaf in 1990,
he served as a visiting professor and choral conductor at
Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, and
at The University of Arizona, Tucson.
Helen Kemp was one of America’s fore-
most specialists in the training of young
voices and a teacher and mentor to sing-
ers, music educators, church musicians,
and conductors. In 1949 she founded the
Choristers Guild and for years served as
professor of voice and church music at
Westminster Choir College. She served as guest conduc-
tor and clinician in all fifty states and around the world.
In 2010, the ACDA Eastern Division initiated the Helen
Kemp Award honoring an individual who, through teach-
ing, performing, and sharing, exhibits a lifelong passion
and commitment to the choral art. Her mantra, “Body,
Mind, Spirit, Voice: It takes the whole person to sing and
rejoice” continues to be used by choral musicians of all
ages.
Robert Page was best known for his me-
ticulous preparation of choral/orchestral
performances that resulted in forty discs

of Pittsburgh. During his distinguished career, Page con-
ducted performances with three opera companies, nine

influence extended throughout the world.
As a young musician, he sang in the choir

scholar at King’s College Cambridge in
1939. He served in the British Army and
was honored for his military service in WWII. As direc-
tor of music at King’s College, Cambridge, for seventeen
years (1957–1974), Sir David arranged carols and created
descants sung by the young trebles in the King’s College
choirs and made numerous recordings. He became direc-
tor of the Royal College of London and also conducted
the London Bach Choir for thirty-eight years. After re-

lence in performance and teaching of vocal jazz. He was
also an adept pianist, performing with the Western Jazz
Quartet and recording four CDs with them. In 2007 he

General Information
Mission and Purpose Statement
The mission of the American Choral
Directors Association is to inspire
excellence in choral music through
education, performance, composi-
tion, and advocacy.
Purposes of ACDA
1. To foster and promote choral
singing, which will provide
artistic, cultural, and spiritual
experiences for the participants.
2. To foster and promote the finest
types of choral music to make
these experiences possible.
3. To foster and encourage re-
hearsal procedures conducive
to attaining the highest possible
level of musicianship and artis-
tic performance.
4. To foster and promote the
organization and development
of choral groups of all types in
schools and colleges.
5. To foster and promote the devel-
opment of choral music in the
church and synagogue.
6. To foster and promote the
organization and development
of choral societies in cities and
communities.
7. To foster and promote under-
standing of choral music as an
important medium of contem-
porary artistic expression.
204 CHORAL JOURNAL Volume 57 Number 8 / 2017 ACDA National Conference Program Book
8. To foster and promote sig-
nificant research in the field of
choral music.

opment of musical culture in
America.

national exchange programs
involving performing groups,
conductors, and composers.
12. To disseminate professional news
and information about choral
music.
Vision for the
Twenty-First Century
by Tim Sharp, Executive Director
I envision a twenty-first-century
ACDA that utilizes the full extent of
technological communication and
other technologies for the benefit of
our membership.
I envision a twenty-first-century
ACDA that establishes the oppor-
tunity for every child in the United
States to sing in a choir.
I envision a twenty-first-century
ACDA that becomes fully engaged
in world choral initiatives.
I envision a twenty-first-century
ACDA that sets the research and
publication agenda for the best
thinking, past and present, in choral
music.
Advocacy Resolution
Whereas the human spirit is el-
evated to a broader understanding
of itself through study and perfor-
mance in the aesthetic arts; and
Whereas serious cutbacks in funding
and support have steadily eroded
state institutions and their programs
throughout the country;
Be it resolved that all citizens of the
United States of America actively
voice affirmative and collective
support for necessary funding at
the local, state, and national levels
of education and government to
ensure the survival of arts programs
for this and future generations.
Policy Statement
The American Choral Directors
Association supports choral activities
by all musical groups. The association
does not discriminate on the basis of
racial, religious, or social affiliation.
The appearance of a performing
group on a conference program does
not imply American Choral Direc-
tors Association endorsement of
nonmusical aspects or positions of the
performing group.
As an American Choral Directors
Association member, members will
comply with the copyright laws of the
United States of America, including
the illegal downloading of music from

ADVOCACY
STATEMENT
Whereas the human spirit is elevated
to a broader understanding of itself
through study and performance in the
aesthetic arts; and
Whereas serious cutbacks in funding
and support have steadily eroded state
institutions and their programs through-
out the country;
Be it resolved that all citizens of the
United States of America actively voice
affirmative and collective support for
necessary funding at the local, state, and
national levels of education and govern-
ment to ensure the survival of arts pro-
grams for this and future generations.
1) Simplicity—a good idea can be conveyed in a one-sentence statement,
even if one could spend a lifetime following it.
2) Unexpectedness—a good idea is surprising and even counterintuitive;
the ideas must first generate interest and curiosity, a gap that the new idea
fills.
3) Concreteness—a good idea can be explained in terms of human ac-
tions and through sensory information; speaking concretely conveys the
idea to the entire audience.
4) Credibility—ideas that stick have to carry their own credentials; the
idea has to have the quality of being tested and proven worthy before it is
implemented.
Two big ideas that have emerged through ACDA’s strategic planning
process follow this formula and are positioned to go to work to advance
ACDA’s mission of inspiring excellence in choral music performance, edu-
cation, composition, and advocacy. These ideas will grow new choral work
and new choral leaders.
The first of these two big ideas, ChorTransform, was birthed out of
our work to build additional potential for ACDA’s Fund for Tomorrow.
Fund for Tomorrow was created to inspire new choral work, particularly
for young and underserved singers. Through our process of innovation we
came to realize that one of ACDA’s great assets is the existence of a large
and growing number of student ACDA chapters throughout our colleges
and universities. ChorTransform is a program that puts the student mem-
bers of our student chapters to work, offering new choral opportunities
to their local community. Students of choral conducting need practical
life experience while they are acquiring the tools necessary to apply their
choral art. ChorTransform intends to match student professional and edu-
cational service to community choral needs. In the coming year, we will be
communicating with ACDA student chapters and their advisors of ways
to engage in this potentially transformational ACDA initiative.
The second big idea, which comes from one of our state chapters and
through a proven track record, is now ready to be scaled to a national level
 The 12 Purposes EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S
of ACDA LOG

of implementation. This program

is called NextDirection and will
identify, inspire, and train future
choral leaders. These young cho-
risters will come from high school
choral programs throughout the
country and will be characterized
by their potential for future choral
study in college and future cho-
ral leadership. ACDA’s Wisconsin
Chapter has refined NextDirec-
tion over the past few years, and
we are now ready to take this ini-
tiative to our entire association.
You will hear more about NextDi-
rection in the coming months as
we anticipate offering the program
at a national level for the first time
in 2018.
ACDA will continue to build
our Fund for Tomorrow to fi-
nance these new programs as we
continue to inspire and build the
choral experience throughout the
country. Fund for Tomorrow cre-
ates opportunities for great choral
experiences for America’s youth.
Choral music empowers youth
with education about music, giv-
ing them an outlet to express their
creativity and watching the seeds
of confidence multiply. Your ongo-
ing contribution to this fund fuels
the fire of passion in choral direc-
tors and the young people who
benefit from this significant ACDA
resource. Find out more informa-
tion at: www.fundfortomorrow.org.

THE WORDS AND MUSIC OF J.A.C. REDFORD
LARRY D. WYATT

Each year, the ACDA Executive

Committee commissions a “recognized
composer to write a choral composition
in an effort to perpetuate quality
choral repertoire.” The fee for the
commission is paid from the Raymond
W. Brock Memorial Endowment, a fund
established in 1991 to honor the life
and contributions of Raymond Brock,
who previously served as administrative
assistant for ACDA. The Brock is one
of the foremost commissions available
to composers of choral music. The
commissioned works are premiered in
even years at each of the seven ACDA
divisional conferences and in odd years
at the national conference. ACDA’s 2017
Brock Commission piece, Homing, was
composed by J.A.C. Redford, who wrote
both the text and music. Homing will be
premiered in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
in March 2017.

 H O M I N G
In 1971, as a college freshman, J.A.C. Redford put
together an audio collage for his university’s radio sta-
tion. The subject was “home.” He chose an eclectic mix
of song and poetry, ranging from a poignant tribute to E.
E. Cummings’s parents in the poet’s i–six nonlectures1 to
Frank Zappa’s iconoclastic “Mom & Dad.”2 Since that
time, Redford has repeatedly explored this elemental
theme.
Homing is the most direct treatment of this theme of
“home” in Redford’s catalogue. Written for divisi mixed
chorus with standard orchestral accompaniment, its
twenty-six minutes are divided into four movements:
I. I dreamed last night that I fell fast asleep
II. Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant,
my feet
III. I weep for a world
IV. This is the house of your long-exiled soul
In conjunction with the 2017 National ACDA Confer-
ence, the following article will preview J.A.C. Redford’s
new work, analyzing and contextualizing Homing’s text
and music. It will include background on the composer’s
development, reference his philosophy of composition,
and outline his use of poetry.
Early Life and Artistic Development
Born July 14, 1953, to H.E.D. and Patricia Clawson
Redford in Los Angeles, California, J.A.C.’s full name,
Jonathan Alfred Clawson Redford, includes the middle
and last names of his maternal grandfather, a dedicated
Salt Lake City physician. J.A.C. is pronounced “Jack”
and is often spelled informally with capitals but without
the periods. Redford’s grandmother was a soprano who
performed on Broadway and was a frequent Messiah so-
loist with the Utah Symphony under Maurice Abrava-
nel. His father was an actor with a fine tenor voice, and
his mother was a soprano who taught singing and toured
with the Roger Wagner Chorale. At age two, his family
returned from California to their home in Salt Lake City,
where his father became a professor of theatre at the
University of Utah and his mother, grandparents, aunt,
and uncle all sang in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
10 CHORAL JOURNAL Volume 57 Number 8
THE WORDS
Symphonic music, operas, Broadway musicals, jazz
standards and popular music of the forties, fifties, and
sixties permeated the family’s home. Redford’s first in-
clinations to compose came as a child while playing with
plastic toy figures. In his 1997 spiritual memoir, Welcome
All Wonders: A Composer’s Journey, he explains that he liked
to design and build elaborate terrains where soldiers and
a cameraman (the observer was always his persona) en-
acted scenes of “man versus nature gone berserk… I ac-
companied their exploits with music, which I hummed
aloud but heard fully orchestrated in my head. At the
time this did not strike me as peculiar because I thought
it happened to everyone.”3
The budding composer first learned to read music in
church and polished this skill while studying the trom-
bone and playing in various youth ensembles. By his
teens, jazz and rock ’n’ roll had captured his imagina-
tion. He picked up the guitar and began writing songs,
taught himself to play the piano and the flute and joined
his high school’s stage band, for which he composed his
first large-scale composition, a jazz suite. He also wrote
the arrangements for his own jazz/rock band. While still
in high school, he took a class in music theory and har-
mony, which led to his first classical composition, a string
quartet.
By the time Redford entered university in 1971, he
thought of himself as a composer, albeit an inexperi-
enced one. In 1974, after a two-year break for service in
Italy, he married his sweetheart and best friend, LeAnn,
and they soon welcomed the first of their four children.
During the course of the next two years, Redford re-
sumed his studies and wrote several more pieces for
jazz ensemble, two children’s musicals for the Sundance
Summer Theatre, scores for local documentaries and
educational films, and a song cycle. In 1976 he decided
to leave school and seek a career in Hollywood scoring
films while pursuing his deeper desire to compose art
music.
Once in Southern California, Redford continued to
play in cover bands while writing underscore for the oc-
casional television program. Early credits include epi-
sodes of Starsky & Hutch and Knot’s Landing. These profes-
sional experiences showed him he needed to work more
efficiently and develop deeper resources of technique
so that when inspiration flagged, craft could take over.
AND MUSIC OF J.A.C. REDFORD

More significantly, however, he wanted to deepen his

roots as an artist. In 1980, when a strike virtually shut
down the film and television recording industry in the
United States, Redford used that year to study the classic
disciplines of music, especially through the works of J. S.
Bach. Under his teacher, Harold V. Johnson, he learned
practical counterpoint by writing inventions, chorale
preludes, and fugues. Redford also studied conducting
with Frederick Zweig and film composition with Walter
Scharf. Later he studied composition with multiple Pu-
litzer Prize-nominee, Thomas Pasatieri. When the strike
was over, Redford returned to work and steadily built a
career lasting forty years.

Harmonizing a Professional Career

and Personal Vocation:
A Philosophy of Composition
Tens of millions of people worldwide have heard
J.A.C. Redford’s music, most without knowing any-
thing about him as a composer, orchestrator, arranger,
and conductor. His five hundred episodes of television
include multiple seasons of Coach and St Elsewhere, for
which he was twice nominated for Emmy Awards. His
television movie credits include What the Deaf Man Heard
and Mama Flora’s Family. He composed the scores for the
films The Trip to Bountiful, Newsies, and The Mighty Ducks II
and III; conducted The Little Mermaid; and orchestrated
the scores for Avatar, WALL-E, Bridge of Spies, Finding Dory,
and Skyfall, for which he also arranged and conducted
Adele’s Oscar-winning title song. In addition, he has
written arrangements for recording artists such as Joshua
Bell and Anne Akiko Meyers, and major orchestras have
performed his work.
Of special interest to choral musicians is Redford’s
love for and commitment to composing music for voices.
He says, “The human voice is a powerful, vulnerable,
perilous, sensitive, maddening, and heartbreaking instru-
ment, a heaven-bound exhalation of the first breath with
which God inspired man.”4 There are three commercial
CDs devoted to Redford’s choral music, and a number
of outstanding choral ensembles have premiered or per-
formed his music. Ben Parry, director of the National
Youth Choirs of Great Britain and assistant director of
music for the Choir of King’s College Cambridge, says,
JAC and Barlow Bradford -Welcome All Wonders -1995.
“It is always a huge pleasure to work with JAC Redford,
whether in film music, which we often do, in which he
is a master at orchestration, or as a composer in his own
right. His choral music is so eloquently written, with the
singer in mind.”5 John Dickson, professor of choral mu-
sic at the LSU School of Music, shares this sentiment:
“JAC has a way of penetrating the soul of the singer.
And because the spirituality of the language and text is
inextricably infused within the music, his compositions
cry out for relationship and not just performance.”6
For over four decades, Redford has written concert
music “while simultaneously working on film and televi-
sion projects. Concert music was my first love, but also
a way to keep me anchored and fresh in the world of
film.”7 Writing in Hollywood has taught Redford the
necessity of finishing work to deadline and the art of
collaboration, which requires a host of extra-musical
relational skills, especially a willingness to defer to the
producer or director’s vision of the film. Brian Galante,
Associate Director of Choral Activities at Pacific Lu-
theran University, says, “Despite working in a profession
in Hollywood where using the same tricks may well be
expected, JAC’s choral work remains true to his com-
positional voice without sounding the same. His works

CHORAL JOURNAL Volume 57 Number 8 11

 H O M I N G
are challenging for the singers but so rewarding when
the ensemble begins to unlock the layers of complexity,
intellect, and deeply expressive textures in his writing.”8
Redford sees his work as medium for communication
rather than just a mode of self-expression. “I seek to
write music that appeals to the whole of a person—heart
and mind, body and spirit.” He wants to speak with per-
formers and listeners, “rather than speak to myself in
front of them. I feel a sense of responsibility to make
their time spent with my music worthwhile, insofar as
I am able.” He wants to take his listeners on a journey.
“I often think of my music in imaginative terms, as a
means of telling stories or illuminating images. The con-
tent will differ from story to story, but the narrative qual-
ity is a constant. This does not mean that all my music
is programmatic, but it does mean that it has a sense
of origin and direction.” He says, “I want my music to
speak to those things that most make us human, our sor-
rows and joys, our deepest longings. I want to delight
and challenge and console with my music as I have been
delighted and challenged and consoled by the music of
others.”9
A Love for Words: The Use of Poetry
Redford has always been an avid reader, which is con-
current with his development as a composer. He enjoys
non-fiction, specifically philosophy, theology, music, and
the arts, but tends to prefer fiction and poetry. In the
realm of choral music, Redford has composed settings
of the Psalms and other biblical or sacred texts, medi-
eval, Renaissance, Romantic and contemporary poetry,
and also written a number of his own texts. Understand-
ing the priority Redford gives to words is paramount
in grasping his overall contribution to the choral art.
Richard Nance, former Brock composer and director
of choral activities at Pacific Lutheran University, says,
“J.A.C.’s greatest gift is his connection of music and
text… He understands the emotional connection text
can bring to music. His music is full of challenges for the
ensemble that require deeper levels of musicianship and
thinking.”10
Describing his process, Redford writes, “When I set
out to compose a vocal work, the choice of a text is criti-

cal to me. My goal is always to illuminate the words—as
the monks of the Middle Ages illuminated their manu-
scripts—so that the audience gains a new understanding
of the poem after hearing it sung. To achieve this, I try to
let the natural accents and rhythms of the spoken words
dictate the rhythms of the music.”11
Longing for Home
The choice of poetry and lyrics across Redford’s oeu-
vre provide insight into his compelling interest in the
longing for home. One of his earliest works, a 1975 song
cycle for soprano with piano accompaniment, is a set-
ting of five E. E. Cummings sonnets, the last of the cycle
ending with the lines:
when all fears hopes beliefs doubts disappear.
Everywhere and joy’s perfect wholeness we’re12
The poem is titled your homecoming will be my homecoming.
Its words conjure an almost palpable ache for wholeness
in love, summed up in the equation “you plus me equals
home.” From his first exposure to it in middle school,
Redford was moved and inspired by this recurrent theme
in Cummings’s poetry and the unique marriage of mod-
ern and traditional techniques. Redford’s choice and set-
ting of this text prefigure a wrestling with tensions be-
tween journeying and dwelling that manifest in most of
his later compositions.
AND MUSIC OF J.A.C. REDFORD
Choral musicians who love film may remember the
1985 Academy Award-winning The Trip to Bountiful. The
movie opens in slow motion with a young mother chas-
ing her son across a field of Texas bluebells as Redford’s
poignant arrangement of the hymn “Softly and Tender-
ly” is sung. The images are unforgettable, and many in
the audience found their own voices echoing the hymn’s
refrain:
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home.13
As in the Cummings sonnet, these lines suggest that
the return home follows some kind of struggle or de-
parture. The classic example of this universal narrative
is the parable of the prodigal son. Returning to Cum-
mings’s poetry in 2001, Redford included these lines
among the texts chosen for his choral cycle, love is the every
only god:
for love beginning means return
seas who could sing so deep and strong
one querying wave will whitely yearn
from each last shore and home come young
The cycle concludes with Cummings’s familiar
equation of love and homecoming:
yours is the light by which my spirit’s born:
yours is the darkness of my soul’s return
––you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars14
This work, one of Redford’s best known, was com-
missioned, premiered, and recorded by the Los Angeles
Chamber Singers under the direction of Peter Ruten-
berg. Writing of this work, Jerry McCoy says, “It is not
only rife with melodic beauty, but it serves as a fantastic
teaching piece because of its voice leading and harmon-
ic vocabularies.”15
Redford’s Rest Now, My Sister, a 2011 work for divisi
mixed chorus and orchestra, is an elegy written in mem-
ory of his wife’s murdered sister. Initially, Redford wrote
the sonnet to deal with his own grief and console his
wife. The subsequent musical setting, commissioned by
A Personal Reflection
by Larry Wyatt
I came to know JAC’s music in the late
1990s through an edition of an audio jour-
nal at the time called the Mars Hill Tapes, now
called the Mars Hill Audio Journal. JAC was be-
ing interviewed about his work as a film com-
poser. These audio journals usually interview
four or five people who work in various areas
of the arts and sciences. Between the inter-
views were excerpts from JAC’s “Welcome
All Wonders” set of Christmas pieces. I was
attracted to the pieces and contacted JAC
concerning purchase of the scores. In a later
conversation, I suggested that he would be
welcome to attend our performances, and to
my surprise he came to the concerts and we
became friends.
Prior to this I had become familiar with
the story of the martyrdom of Polycarp, a
second-century saint whose martyrdom is
recounted in the Eusebius Christian church
history book from the early fourth century. I
had made copies of the story hoping someday
to find a composer who might turn it into an
oratorio. It seemed to me JAC was the man
for the job, and he expressed interest in set-
ting it. I arranged a joint commission between
my church and the university, allowing three
years for the completion. The work was com-
pleted and premiered in 2004. Following the
Columbia premier, we took the reduced or-
chestration to Italy and performed it several
more times, including at the Chiesa Nuova
in Rome where the earliest oratorios were
performed. Excerpts were also performed at
the Vatican. JAC and his wife, LeAnn, came
along on the tour. It was a once-in-a-lifetime
experience. Subsequently, I have performed
several of his works and look forward to per-
forming many more.

Barlow Bradford, Artistic Director of Utah Chamber
Artists, “is an intensely expressive piece for chorus and
orchestra… emotionally powerful as it conveys feelings
of pain, anguish and sorrow.”16 It also conveys an unmis-
takable sense of the longing for home. After a reflective
instrumental introduction, adapting text from tradition-
al requiem liturgy, the choir sings:
Rest now, my sister, rest from every fear
of carrion kite that dove on ragged wing
to rend with bitter claw, from every tear
of shame, my sister, rest from everything.
Rest now, and let the wild wood dove light
to chant its peace, release its healing store,
to ease you gentle into that good night
where sting and talon trouble you no more.
O sister, rest, and let the phoenix rise
from ash and cinder, smoking in the ring.
Where heat once rose to beat against the skies
with longing fierce, O let the phoenix sing.
For birdsong now may weave its golden nest
and heart unclenched at last may learn its rest.17
Homing: Genesis and Analysis
Redford has long been interested in what he calls
“crossing over” literature. In explanation, he says, “By
that I mean prose or poetry that imagines the experience
of transition from this life to the next, or that renders
more porous the borders between the material world
and the world of spirit. Examples of this kind of writing
include ‘The Grey Havens,’ the final chapter from J. R.
R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings or the last five chapters
from The Last Battle, the concluding book of C. S. Lewis’s
Chronicles of Narnia. Or the novels Phantastes by George
MacDonald and Descent into Hell by Charles Williams.
Or Dante’s Divine Comedy. Or the entire genre of magical
surrealism.”18
Describing the creation of the text, Redford writes,
“While in England in the fall of 2015, I began to get
ideas for a text. Words or phrases just popped into my
14 CHORAL JOURNAL Volume 57 Number 8
THE WORDS
head, all of which I diligently transcribed and cata-
logued. Soon after returning home to California, I had
something near to a finished text, divided into four po-
ems.”
Redford conceived his text as responsive poetry to
several literary passages he loves “as if I were convers-
ing over dinner with the authors whose contributions to
the discussion are embodied in their works…Art can be
both inspiring and generative, allowing us to communi-
cate across and beyond ordinary boundaries of time and
space.”19 In addition to their “crossing over” qualities,
these texts speak of what C. S. Lewis called our “in-
consolable secret,”20 that profound human longing for
a place where we belong, our true home, that J. R. R.
Tolkien describes as a “far green country under a swift
sunrise”21 in what Thomas Howard calls the “Spring-
time of which all spring times speak.”22 Other authors
with whom Redford converses in Homing include Leif
Enger (Peace Like a River), George Herbert (Love Bade Me
Welcome), and King David (Psalm 23).
Concerning the work’s title, Redford writes that it
“has a deep meaning for me. It was the name of a sen-
timental song of the 1920s that my mom and grandma
used to sing at our family soirées. I recalled its lyrics at
times of loss, such as when my grandparents had to give
up their beloved 11th Avenue home or at the divorce
of my parents. The words of Homing always resonated
with an inner sense of present exile and hope for a future
home.”23
All things come home at eventide,
Like birds that weary of their roaming.
And I would hasten to thy side,
Homing.
Oh dearest I have wandered far,
From day break to the twilight gloaming.
I come back with the evening star,
Homing.24
Following are the texts from Homing’s four movements,
followed by select annotations and musical examples.

5 I dreamed that I awoke to sheets of rain
6 Through mist so dense I couldn’t see the stars,

10 And I could taste the salt tang in the air,
11 Yet there was such an utter stillness there,
12 The world had held its breath, it seemed to me.

Select Annotations and Analysis –
Movement 1
The first poem tries to capture the moment of “cross-
ing over.” The first three stanzas are accented by the
alliterative appearance of words containing the ‘st’
sound, usually at the end of the word (last, fast, gust,
lost, past, mist, masts, and taste), but occasionally distrib-
uted elsewhere (vanished, stars, and stillness) or reversed
(sheets). One might hear the resulting sibilance as the
escape of breath. Besides the end rhymes, these lines also

contain occasions of antiphonal assonance (last/fast/

Homing begins in silence, broken by the “tolling” of
a pianissimo tam tam and gran cassa (represented in the
vocal scores by a cluster on the lowest notes of the pi-
ano). Quartal harmony is introduced in measures five
and six, opening to a C minor chord in measure seven.
The choral entrance is pianissimo, portraying the mystery
of this transition (Figure 1). This mixture of harmonic
language portrays the meaning of the text without leav-
ing the listener and the singer behind. Note the word
painting on “fell” and “sleep.” Sensitive to the needs of
singers, Redford discreetly provides their entering pitch-
es. The unison rising melody set for men’s voices is very
closely related to the text with the silence following the JAC and Richard Nance in 2015 - A Christmas Invitation.

that he wanted to “locate this movement in the tradi-
tion of dream literature, such as Jacob’s dream in Gen-
esis 28:10-22 and Joseph’s in Matthew 1:19-24. These
are not dreams as surrealistic confections or horrifying
nightmares but as visionary experiences. The first stan-
za is replete with metaphors for death. In this line, ‘last
night’ may be ‘the night before this morning’ or one’s
‘last night alive.’ ‘Fell’ is a complex word that may re-
fer to having fallen down, felling a tree, humankind’s fall
into original sin or, as an adjective, something dark or
evil. All of these possibilities color its use here. ‘Fast’ is
also a complex word that, along with speedy, may mean
immoveable or fixed. A castle may be called a fastness. A
prisoner may also be described as held fast by his bonds
or chains. Sleep is another word with multiple meanings.
It is sometimes said that the dead have fallen ‘asleep.’ Je-
sus describes Jairus’s dead daughter as sleeping in Mark
5:35-43.”
Line 6: Sight is the first of the five senses invoked. It is
followed in subsequent stanzas by touch, taste, hearing,
and smell.
Line 8: The sea imagery that characterizes the re-
mainder of this movement begins in this stanza. Ac-
cording to the composer, “The ship reimagines the one
that bears Frodo from the Grey Havens to the Undying
Lands at the end of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. It also re-
minds me of Reepicheep’s coracle in Lewis’s Voyage of the

for the soul’s journey.”
The final three stanzas contrast sharply with the first
three: stillness gives way to quickening; held or diffused
breath becomes a freshening breeze; the unseen stars
now shine in starbright foam; salt tang (a savory im-
age) is replaced by the scent of roses (a sweet one, owing
much to Dante’s Paradiso); dense mist opens up to reveal
a country spread wide; sheets of rain (an external image)
are replaced by tears (an internal, soulful one); the “last

night” (the end of hope) is superseded “at last” (in hope’s
realization); and all that is lost is restored in the recogni-
tion of one’s true home.
As the soul begins the “crossing,” the tempo increases
and the lines rise toward the sun and its “waking spell of
light.” The “shimmering silver” that characterizes “ev-
ery sprite of air” is illuminated by the high sixteenth
notes intermittently dispersed in the woodwinds with
high strings eventually taking up more continual six-
teenth notes. Rhythmically more active, the music un-
derscores lines 21 and 22 to an expansive arrival at “a
far green country” (Figure 4).

Movement 2
Moving the narrative forward, the second movement
takes shape in an ebullient race across the expansive
landscape. Redford writes, “With this poem, I wanted to
actually create a visceral sense of joy and motion with the
words. While my structural model was Dylan Thomas’s
villanelle Do not go gentle into that good night, my content con-
trasts rather sharply with his.” In contrast to the ending
of movement 1, this movement begins with a tempo of
quarter = 144. Redford uses paired voices, first women,
then men, eventually moving to a four-part culmination
of line 6, which is displayed in measures 37-41 (Figure 5).
Line 1: This line is a quote from Julia Ward Howe’s
The Battle Hymn of the Republic. It is also quoted in the pen-
ultimate chapter of Leif Enger’s novel Peace Like a River,
an extended reflection on crossing over to that “hidden

country.”
Line 2: “Further up and further in” is a reference to
C. S. Lewis’s The Last Battle.
Redford’s mixture of paired voicing moving to four
parts continues through lines 7-9 (Figure 6). A four-part
lyric texture introduces line 10, but this quickly turns
back to the syncopated rhythmic trading of dancelike fig-
www.choralnet.org ures between the men and women’s voices until line 15,
which returns in the pounding rhythm introduced earlier.

I weep for a world
1 I weep for a world sore-wounded by a savage will,
2 A will that vomits fear and hatred in its wake,
3 And violence, breeding ever more for its own sake,
4 I weep for a world that never seems to have its fill.
5 I weep for a bent world, burdened with a plague of
greed,
6 Its children torn and sold with every stolen breath
7 Its proud adorned with gilt amusements, dealing
death,
8 I weep for a world that cannot bear to name its need.
9 Yet even in the deepest darkness, still there shines
10 A star of highest beauty in the fields of night,
11 A beauty never marred or lessened, ever bright,
12 A homing beacon well beyond the battle lines.
13 O, you who wander broken through this bleak
terrain,
14 Remember the light!—you do not hope in vain.

Movement 3
The third movement departs from the narrative stream
with a reflection on the darkness of present conditions.
Redford explains, “This is a responsive poem to Sam-

wise Gamgee’s vision of the star over Mordor: ‘There,
peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tower high
up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for
a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked
up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him.
For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him
that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing
thing: there was light and high beauty forever beyond
its reach.’25 I’m trying with these lines to come to terms
with our own Mordor…and our own star.”
Movement three begins in compound meter, provid-
ing contrast to the strong duple meter of movement
two. Staggered entrances in dissonant intervals paint the
“weeping” of the text (Figure 7). The musical language
continues rhythmically emphatic with dissonances un-
derscoring line 2, “a will that vomits fear and hatred in
its wake” (Figure 8). The powerful expressions of lines
6 and 7 contain both the appropriate dissonance intro-
duced earlier and the weeping motive setting line 7 in
the tenor and bass parts (Figure 9).
The sonnet’s volta beginning in lines 9-10 is charac-
terized by a change of meter (4/4), constant harmonies,
and a change of tonal center from D minor to D! Major.
High strings, woodwinds, and celesta accompaniment
portray the gulf between the deepest darkness and the
star of highest beauty (Figure 10). The final two lines of
the third movement are set contrapuntally with conso-
nant harmonies and rising melodic lines, culminating in
a homophonic statement: you do not hope in vain (Fig-
ure 11).

This is the house of your long-exiled soul
1 This is the house of your long-exiled soul,
2 And here, at last, is your heart-ache’s true home.
3 Here every broken hope has been made whole
4 And every sad thing finally undone.
5 A table has been laid, a feast prepared,
6 And guests have come to share the bread and wine:
7 The wounded prodigal with head now bared,
8 The fractured man, now clothed in his right mind,
9 The king, grown weary of his will to power,
10 The warrior, sword still heavy in his hand,
11 Each one, now summoned to this holy hour,
12 Has crossed, through darkness, the forsaken land.
13 And each of them you were, and might have stayed
14 But for the love-spurred purchase of a grace
15 That hastened down the ways on which you strayed
16 To see you safely stabled in this place.
17 Time now to quit the glittering parade,
18 And leave the costumed tumult of the race.
19 Now lay aside the scepter and the blade
20 And feel the play of light upon your face.
21 Time now to sit and taste that all is well,
22 To find your story fit within its frame
23 And answered with each new companion’s tale,
24 To hear at last the sound of your true name.
25 This is the house of your long-exiled soul,
26 And here your restless heart will find release.
27 The one who loves you best has made you whole
28 And welcomes you to joy in ripening peace.

Movement 4
In the fourth and final movement, the narrative line
is resumed and the warmth of the “true home” is ex-
pressed in rich extended tertian homophonic chorale-
like language (Figure 12).
Line 1: “Exiled” echoes the losses of the first move-
ment.
Line 2: This is sehnsucht, the deep, longing desire of
the human heart.
Line 3: “Hope” recalls the final line of the third move-
ment.
Line 6: The guests are also the scattered parts of one-
self, as the fourth stanza makes clear. In Luke 12:37, Je-
sus says that the master of the feast “will dress himself to
serve, will have them recline at the table and will come
and wait on them.”
Line 24: This was one of the losses included in “all I
knew” from the first movement. There is also an echo
here from the second stanza of the third movement as
those who cannot name their need cannot name them-
selves.
Conclusion
Frederick Buechner once wrote: “Faith is homesick-
ness. Faith is a lump in the throat. Faith is less a posi-
tion on than a movement toward, less a sure thing than
a hunch. Faith is waiting. Faith is journeying through
space and through time.”26 Responding, Redford said,
“I feel this very deeply, and a sense of homesickness is
somehow bound up in the heart of all of my music. As
is the experience of glimpsing: those rare, random mo-
ments when the veil is briefly tugged aside.” This glimps-
ing lies at the roots of Homing, and it is the composer’s
hope that it will strike a resonant chord in the hearts and
minds of its performers and listeners.
