Jennifer Higdon is an esteemed American composer known internationally, and the recipient of many awards in various musical genres. Though best known for her instrumental works and operas, she is a prolific writer of choral music that is fascinating, varied in style, profound, and meaningful, and speaks directly to a contemporary audience through the carefully selected texts.This book explores a number of Higdon’s choral works, both extended and short works, citing the extensive relationship of the music to the texts, which are set a cappella, with full orchestra or with chamber instruments. Also presented are composition characteristics, analytical analysis, and insights directly from the composer.
