Abstract

Music for Choir and Electronics is a multi-movement work / collection of pieces for choir and electronics featuring: three songs, “Clear Midnight,” “Come Away, Death,” and “Alleluia” connected by two fixed media interludes, which utilize only electronic playback. While these pieces are presented as a group, they are also intended to stand on their own, as a means of introducing the use of electronics in “classical music” to as wide an audience as possible – especially the choral music world. This supporting paper contains: my thoughts, goals, and intentions on the composition(s), program notes for the piece as a five-movement work or as individual smaller pieces, a breakdown of a few decisions I made regarding the incorporation of electronics – from a logistical and technological standpoint, a discussion of a choral recording session held for the three songs in Spring 2017, and my final thoughts on the overall project and moving forward as a composer or acoustic, electronic, and electroacoustic music.
