Afterwards he came on the show to talk about the performance, share about the piece, and discuss his compositional process.

Born in 1986, Jake Runestad is a versatile and prolific young composer whose visceral music and charismatic personality have fostered a busy schedule of national and international commissions, residencies, workshops, and speaking engagements, enabling him to be one of the youngest full-time composers in the world. In this podcast he discusses with Raymond Bisha the profound message behind his Earth Symphony, as Mother Earth recounts mankind's evolution, to lust for power and progress, to the impact this has had on the planet, and how she will move on after all that we have managed to inflict on her.

The Singers — Come to the Woods (Arsis Audio) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Matthew Culloton by   “We are all loud or pensive about things,” said Matthew Culloton, artistic director of the Singers, talking about the ensemble's 10th recording. “At times, we may be lonely, but also reflective and hopeful. Naming the album Come to the Woods, after Jake Runestad's piece and John Muir's words, was a great launching point.” Can you tell us why it took so long to release this recording? “I actually edited and produced the CD on my own computer software years ago. We finally had time to get back to our engineer, David Trimble, and really work with it. Even though I had already assembled and listened to it, it was also a start over with fresh ears. The pandemic gave us time.” Is there a section in the piece Come to the Woods that you look forward to? “There's a section later in the piece where Runestad pays a small musical tribute to Dominick Argento, one of his favorite composers. He does this by quoting a very special cadence point in the poetry. That's a spot where I find myself taking more time over the years with each new performance of the work. “The choir sings, 'The setting sun filled them with amber light and seemed to say. And when he sets and seemed to say.' That's the final sung cadence of Walden Pond, and I get goose bumps thinking about it. I remember the first time I heard it. I ran to the piano with my score just to make sure I heard it right.” Can you tell us about Dominique Argento's Seasons? “I thought it was important to put Dominic's last work in this collection. I get choked up a little bit thinking about the final movement, ‘Summer,' and it being his last work. I don't know if he wrote them in that order poetically, but I love the idea that he wrote ‘Summer' last. His last words were, ‘Soon, the goddess of summer sees that all is proceeding as planned, though reluctant to leave, she nods and sadly bestows her loving benediction.'” Why did you chose Moira Smiley's Stand in That River? “She is such a breath of fresh air in her approach to writing, sharing and recognizing global traditions in her music. This piece definitely comes back to American folk music. “On this recording, the departure for us wasn't so much the piece itself, but that we included a bass, guitar, guiro, cajon and mandolin. Those five instruments are all played by one of our baritones, Paul Winchester. The end result was infectious, which is not the best word to use these days, but I think it's very likable.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Composer Happy Hour - Presented by whateverandeveramen.

Hi friends - thanks so much for listening to Episode 6 of the Composer Happy Hour. Hopefully you have a drink in hand, and you are ready to relax and enjoy a great conversation. Also - a quick plug here: if you aren't already following us on social media, please take a second to check us out (IG: @whateverandeveramen / Twitter: @whateverchoir). Your follows mean a lot to us. I'd also like to ask that if you have Apple Music, consider finding the podcast there and giving us a 5-star rating. This helps us out a lot! Our guest for this episode is Jake Runestad. If you are a choral music fan or participant, I imagine you already know some of Jake's music. He has been prominently featured on the program at just about every recent ACDA conference, and his music has been collected on albums by Conspirare and Kantorei. When I first met Jake in person, I knew we would get along well because we have several shared interests: we both enjoy a good old-fashioned, consider ourselves to be "foodies," and have a shared fondness for the music of Ben Folds. We discuss all of that and more in the episode. I hope that as you listen to each episode you find you are getting to know these composers more as people - understanding their influences, their personality, etc. - and that this might give you a greater appreciation and understanding of their music. Grab a drink and enjoy! As always, if you like what you hear - buy us a beer! Your contributions will help to fund future projects by whateverandeveramen. Episode Sponsor: Funky Turtle Brewing starts with spirit brothers Drake Pregnal and Tom Garrison. Drake and Tom met in the backwoods of Kentucky in 2014.

Jake Runestad joins me on this episode. Jake Runestad is a well known choral composer and we talked about several of his compositions, many of which have to do with issues of social change. But we also had a very deep conversation about his composition, Please Stay. “Please Stay” is an anthem for hope — an attempt to destigmatize mental illness and challenge all of us to support those who are battling depression and thoughts of suicide. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, taking the lives of 44,965 Americans in 2016. For some people, depression may lead to thoughts of suicide. Try to remember that you don’t have to act on these thoughts, no matter how overwhelming they might be. If you’re considering ending your life, it’s important that you talk to someone right away. If you’re in a crisis, you can also call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK to get immediate help.
