TCDA Officers

Welcome to TCDA!

On behalf of the TCDA Board of Directors, I want to welcome you to this year’s convention. We are so glad that you have chosen to spend a few days of your precious summer with us in beautiful San Antonio. We have a vast array of workshops, music reading sessions, and special concerts lined up this year, including a sing-along performance of Mozart’s REQUIEM. Don’t forget to spend some time in the Exhibit Hall, where over 600 vendors will be ready to visit with you. This will be our second year to share convention space with TODA and TBA, and this agreement continues to benefit all three music organizations.

I hope this will be a time of renewing old friendships and making new friends. Take advantage of your time here in San Antonio to get to know someone new. That is what TCDA is all about: COMMUNITY!

We are glad you’re here. If any of our TCDA Board members can be of assistance, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We want this TCDA convention to be your best ever!

Sincerely,

Billy Talley

COLLEGE/COMMUNITY VP

Dr. Betsy Cook Weber has withdrawn her can-didacy for President-Elect.

Dr. Pamela Elrod Huffman has served as Director of Choral Activities at the SMU Meadows School of the Arts since 2007, overseeing the MM Choral Conducting program and directing

the choral ensembles. Her career spans all levels—elementary and secondary to univer-sity, symphonic, and church choirs. Prior to SMU, Huffman was Assistant Director of Choral Studies at Texas Tech University. An accom-plished vocalist, she has been a guest artist with university, professional, community and church choirs. From 1988 to 1999, Huffman sang with the late Robert Shaw, performing and recording with the Robert Shaw Festival Singers, the Robert Shaw Choral Institutes, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus, and the Atlanta Symphony Chamber Chorus. Since 2003, she has been a member of the Grammy-nominated professional ensemble Conspirare under the direction of Craig Hella Johnson. Her article on Shaw’s warm-ups can be found on the Singer Network website, and an article on Shaw’s rehearsal techniques appears in the February 2013 issue of Southwestern Musician. Huffman is a member of TCDA, TMEA, ACDA, and Pi Kappa Lambda, and serves as a clinician and adjudicator in Texas and throughout the U.S. She was the 2010–12 VP of TCDA’s College/Community Division. Huffman holds BME and MM degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and a DMA in Choral Conducting from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.

If elected…A couple of years ago, I was enjoying a

meal with TCDA Board members after a long day of meetings, and chatting with a Board member about the responsibilities that go with serving TCDA. I remember saying, “Why on earth would anyone take on the role of President? I can’t imagine the time commit-ment and workload!” My colleague replied, “You should consider it.” I burst out laughing and said something like, “No way! I would never consider doing that job!” But the seed was planted.

Serving as TCDA’s Vice President of College/Community stands as one of the most reward-ing experiences of my career, and those two years were rich with hard work, new friend-ships, and valuable insights. I came away with a lasting commitment to—and fierce passion for—this remarkable institution. Service to TCDA is now a non-negotiable in my life—and the opportunity to carry out its mission as President would be a privilege. The accom-plishments of Past Presidents Bob Horton,

Amy Allibon, Jeff Rice, and their distinguished predecessors form an extraordinary legacy that, if elected, I will work diligently to honor and maintain. A final thought—Kari Gilbertson and Mark Rohwer represent the very best of what music education is about—I am humbled to have my name included on any list with theirs, but even more humbled to be on this very special one.

Kari Gilbertson has been teaching choral music for 24 years at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. Most recently, she was named Head Choir Director at Lake Highlands HS in

Richardson ISD. Prior to that, she spent 15 years at Forest Meadow Junior High. At Lake Highlands, Gilbertson directed many Sweepstakes and Award winning choirs. She received honors as “Secondary Teacher of the Year” at Richardson ISD, “PTA Lifetime Member” and “PTA Teacher of Excellence,” and was nominated for “Disney Teacher of the Year” in 2006. Gilbertson graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, where she was a member of The Concordia Choir. An active speaker, conductor, adjudica-tor, and clinician, Gilbertson has been a contributing author for the textbook series entitled Spotlight on Music and Experiencing Choral Music. Most recently, she was named a Lead Author on Hal Leonard/McGraw Hill’s national choral textbook adoption project. She is a member of ACDA, TCDA, TMAA, and TMEA, and recently served as VP of TCDA’s Middle School/Junior High Division. Gilbertson holds a MM degree with an emphasis in Choral Conducting from Southern Methodist University.

If elected…Nearly 20 years ago, when I left Minnesota

to return to Texas, my colleagues asked, “Won’t you miss the choirs?” They obviously didn’t know Texas and they certainly didn’t know TCDA! This association has played a pivotal role in my development as a success-ful teacher and choir director, and I relish the opportunity to give back to an organiza-tion whose sole purpose is to support and inspire the leaders of choral music. You! I was ever mindful of these expectations when I served on the TCDA Board in 2011–2013 as we navigated our organization into exciting changes. I’m proud of our work to ensure that our organization thrives and prospers for the next generation of directors. I am a person who likes to consider the past but looks to the future—I understand the complexity of change, while honoring tradition. I know that my strong organizational and communication skills will be vital as we continue to find ways to expand our influence.

I would like to see a continued expansion of the ways TCDA can be a multi-generational

resource for choral musicians. As I tell my students, “It takes a village to raise a Choir Director” and I believe there are ways to keep our “virtual village” in touch with each other beyond convention. Finally, my experience with the elementary, middle school, high school as well as church, gives me an understanding of each division. I believe that my experience would be valuable in guiding the important task of inviting new members, selecting music, and planning convention content and activities. I am honored to be a nominee for President, and I look forward to the opportunity to serve and advocate for the entire membership of TCDA.

Dr. Mark Rohwer has served as Director of Choral Activities at Flower Mound High School since the school’s opening in 1999. Now in his 23rd year, his choirs have received consistent Sweepstakes Awards at

UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Contests, and Outstanding Performance or Best in Class Awards. The Jaguar Chorale was invited to perform twice at TMEA and also in Kansas City at the ACDA Southwest Division convention. Rohwer is a member of TCDA and TMEA, and was chair of both TMEA Region 24 and Area A, and a section leader for the All-State Men’s Choirs in 2004 and 2010. Rohwer served as the High School Division VP of TCDA in 2011–13. He served on the staff of summer All-State Choir Camps at Baylor University, the University of North Texas, Texas Christian University, and the University of Texas at San Antonio. He is an active clinician and conduc-tor throughout Texas and has presented at TMEA as well as across the country. Rohwer has been published in Southwestern Musician, The Journal of Music Teacher Education, The Choral Journal, The International Journal of Community Music, Texas Music Education Research, and the Southwestern ACDA Publication Common Times. He holds degrees in music education from Northwestern University, the Eastman School of Music, and Ohio State University.

If elected…It is not hyperbole to say that TCDA has

molded, focused and enriched my professional life. To a non-native, Texas choral music is bewildering in its complexity and scale, and it was TCDA that helped me come to terms with what it means to love, teach and lead people in the pursuit of the excellence of singing together. My first TCDA convention taught me so much, and I met people who helped me teach better and reach higher. I have had that experience each and every year since. It is an honor to be considered alongside a slate of other candi-dates who are experts and musical role models. I have a great deal to offer TCDA as President-Elect in energy, organization and a willingness to listen to the membership and address the many areas of choral music they represent. As

6 www.TCDA.net

I move through my third decade of teach-ing, I am more energetic and optimistic than ever about the importance of choral music in people’s lives, and the role that TCDA can play in maintaining that importance. Times change, technology changes, and our association must stay abreast of these changes. What has not changed, however, is our desire as people to commit to singing songs that connect with each other, learn from and be inspired by each other, and lift each other up in person and in com-munion with one another. If elected, I pledge to keep us updated and current, but more important, I pledge to continue serving TCDA as we mold, focus, and enrich each other while we give of ourselves to the choral art.

COLLEGE/COMMUNITY VP

James Franklin has withdrawn his candidacy for College/Community VP.

Dr. Lynne Gackle is Professor of Ensembles and Associate Director of Choral Activities at Baylor University where she conducts the Baylor Bella Voce (Women’s Ensemble) and the Baylor Concert Choir.

She is an active clinician, conductor and adjudicator for choral clinics, honor choirs, workshops and festivals throughout the U.S. and abroad. Gackle served as president of ACDA-Florida and the ACDA Southern Division. The Florida ACDA chapter awarded her the Wayne Hugoboom Distinguished Service Award for dedicated service, leadership and excellence. She served in various R&S roles within ACDA, including National R&S Chair for Children’s Choirs and the Southern Division Chair for Women’s Choirs. Gackle serves on the editorial board of the Choral Journal. She is editor of Choral Artistry for the Singer with Walton Music and the Lynne Gackle Choral Series for Colla Voce Music, Inc. She has written for the Choral Journal and contributed to the MENC publication Music at the Middle Level: Building Strong Programs. She is author of Finding Ophelia’s Voice, Opening Ophelia’s Heart: Nurturing the Adolescent Female Voice, published by Heritage Music Press, and served as a contributing author to the GIA publication Conducting Women’s Choirs: Strategies for Success. Gackle was awarded Baylor’s Outstanding Faculty Award in Research in 2012. She is a member of ACDA, MENC, TMEA, TCDA, ISME and NATS. Gackle received a BME from Louisiana State University and a MM degree and PhD degree from the University of Miami.

If elected…Before I ever became a Texan, I knew about

TCDA and its value in the state and throughout the nation. I came to conventions whenever possible because of its reputation for excellent in-service workshops and fabulous opportuni-ties to preview choral music for all ages. “If you want to get repertoire ideas, go to TCDA!” Once in Waco, I found myself thrilled with the chance to meet colleagues each summer to discuss

teaching, music, techniques and forge special relationships with friends throughout the state.

It would be an honor to serve TCDA as VP for College and Community choirs. I have a keen interest in both areas and believe they serve a unique niche within the fabric of choral music in our state and throughout the country. As a collegiate teacher/conductor, I teach both the music “major” and the “non-major” chorus singer. To continue to provide stu-dents with choral experiences that create and foster the desire for lifelong singing is extremely important to me. To mentor future choral educators and encourage students who ultimately might sing in community choruses to serve on Boards of choral arts organizations, and hopefully, encourage their own children in choral music, is an exciting opportunity! I know the inherent value found in the partnership of choral education within the schools and com-munities, and if elected, I will strive to reach out to these groups by strengthening opportunities for choral music with students, future choral educators and singers of all ages.

Dennis S. Richardson, Director of Choral Activities at Del Mar College, has taught choral music in Texas for over 37 years in a variety of settings ranging from rural to

urban and elementary to university. He studied choral conducting at West Texas A&M University with Houston Bright, Hugh Sanders, and George Umberson; at Texas State University with Kenneth Fulton; and at Texas Tech University with Donald Bailey and Kenneth Davis. Richardson is in his ninth year as the Artistic Director of the Del Mar Master Chorus, a community choir serving the coastal bend of south Texas and sponsored by Del Mar College. Since 1984, Richardson has devel-oped, organized and served Texas All-State choir camps for institutions across the state such as Texas State University, Texas Tech University, University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas A&M University Kingsville, Baylor University and Del Mar College. As a Captain in the United States Marine Corps, Richardson brings six years of experience as a communi-cations officer to his credits.

Richardson is active in TMEA, TMAA, TCDA, and ACDA. He served as a Texas All-State Choir Organizer, a High School Honor Choir Coordinator for divisional and national conven-tions, as the Southwestern ACDA Repertoire and Standards Chairman for Multi-Cultural and Ethnic Perspectives as well as a TMEA region officer and area audition chair. For the past ten years, Richardson served as the stage manager for the TMEA conventions where he is responsible for organizing the stage setup for the major concerts in Lila Cockrell Theatre. Choirs under his direction have performed for TMEA and ACDA conferences, by invitations at major festivals in Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Monterrey, Mexico, and at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York. In May 2014, Richardson made his conducting debut at Carnegie Hall. He has presented consul-tation and staff development sessions for the following Texas school districts: Alice,

Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Donna, El Paso, Kingsville, Laredo, Lubbock, Port Lavaca, San Benito, Victoria and Weslaco. He has prepared symphony choruses for major performances in Lubbock, Victoria, Corpus Christi, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Richardson earned a BME from West Texas A&M University and an MM from Texas State University.

If elected…I would be excited to bring my organiza-

tional perspective and management skills to the board of TCDA. This association is one of the most reputable groups in the world and to serve at this level would be an honor. During my educational career, TCDA has been a valu-able resource. I have gained numerous insights and developed the skills and techniques nec-essary to advance my teaching methods. My record of service to organizations over the last 30 years has given me a unique and thorough understanding of all the elements required for the operation of a successful conference. My military experiences have also given me an effective approach to achieving goals by understanding and leading people. I pledge to follow the proven practices that have been fruitful over the years and to listen to and act upon new ideas and suggestions to strengthen and enhance TCDA’s purposes and objectives.

E L E M E N T A R Y V P

Michele Hobizal is in her 27th year of teaching and is an elementary music specialist at Wolman Elementary. For 15 years, she taught in Katy ISD at Pattison, WoodCreek, and now Wolman Elementary Schools.

Previously at Pasadena, Bellville, Columbus and Alief school districts, Hobizal was named 2000 Teacher of the Year at Pattison Elementary and was a finalist candidate for the 2013 Teacher of the Year at Wolman. She is one of the founding directors of the Katy ISD District Elementary Honor Choir with invited performances at the 2007 and 2011 TMEA Conventions. She has been the TMEA Elementary VP for two terms, and during that time, she had the opportunity to invite many wonderful choirs and clinicians to the conventions and create a share space for Texas elementary music teachers using Edmodo. She is a cadre member of the Center for Educator Development in Fine Arts and was a member of the 2012 TEKS Fine Arts Review Committee. Hobizal holds a BME from Texas State University.

If elected…My goal is to continue providing choral

instruction and strategies along with music advocacy to ensure the best for Texas music educators. I graduated from college with an instrumental background, and realized that my lack of choral knowledge and methodology was a huge minus in providing a proper education to my students. TCDA conventions gave me the tools, the friendships and the networking opportunities with fellow choral directors. My experience as a TMEA Elementary VP gave me the organizational skills and the desire to pro-vide the best educational opportunities for Texas elementary choirs and general music classes.

I am honored to be a candidate for the TCDA Elementary Division. The role of a vice president is not only to provide a rewarding convention experience, but also to provide an informed, articulate voice for choral music education. I will be your passionate, energetic and enthusiastic advocate, and request that you consider my experience as your next TCDA Elementary VP.

Cyndie Lowry is in her ninth year as General Music teacher and Choir Director at Mitchell Intermediate School in Conroe ISD. Lowry taught elemen-tary music in Klein ISD for five years before taking time off to raise

her three sons. Lowry organizes the District Wide Intermediate Honor Choir Audition and Concert for Conroe ISD and offers a summer music camp for incoming 4th, 5th and 6th grade students. Her choir had the honor of performing at the TMEA Conventions in 2008 and 2013. She has presented workshops at TCDA and TMEA as well as local in-service trainings in various districts. Lowry is an active member of TCDA and TMEA, and earned a BME/All Levels degree and Kodaly Certification from Sam Houston State University.

If elected…I began teaching in the fall of 1978 in Klein

ISD. I loved teaching elementary students! Who wouldn’t love singing and playing games all day long? When I had my own children, I decided to stay home and be a full-time mom. Of course, that included volunteering at their schools along with teaching music in preschools (because you just can’t keep a good music teacher down!). I’ll never forget the first choir concert I attended when my son was in 8th grade. I wept with joy at the beauty of that concert. That was the beginning of many concerts and sparked my desire to return to teaching. In 2005, I began teaching at Mitchell Intermediate School in Conroe ISD and was encouraged to attend a TCDA Convention by my co-teacher and friend, Connie Horton. I was so impressed with the workshops, clinicians and new music offered at that first convention and I have not missed one since! I am honored to be a nominee for Elementary Vice President and if elected, I will uphold the great legacy that TCDA offers choir directors from our great state! TCDA has blessed, encouraged and inspired me to be a better choir director, and it is my desire to increase the membership of the Elementary Division of TCDA so they too, can be encour-aged and inspired. Thank you, TCDA Board, for all you have done for choral music in Texas.

Derrick Bready is the head choral director at Pearland HS and previously taught at J. Frank Dobie HS in Pasadena ISD. At Dobie, Bready co-pro-duced the Tommy Tune nominated musical “The

Sound of Music” and won a Tommy Tune award for Best Musical Direction and Best Orchestra. Since moving to Pearland in 2006, the choir program has experienced steady growth and success, consistently earning UIL sweepstakes, Superior awards, and Best in Class trophies. In February 2010, the PHS Men’s Choir presented a SWACDA conference performance in Denver, and performed at the 2011 TMEA convention; and the Pearland HS Chamber Choir (Varsity Mixed Choir) performed at the 2013 TMEA convention. The Chamber Choir again performed at the 2014 SWACDA conference. Bready graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a BME and holds a MM from the University of Houston.

If elected…From the time I began attending TCDA

conventions as a college student to today as an educator and church musician, TCDA has been an organization known for excellence in music performance, professional and personal relationships, and the value of the choral art. Its ideals resonate in the rehearsal rooms across our state and “trickle down” in the music we share with our audiences. If elected, my goal will be to maintain the tradition of excellence that our leaders have blazed before us and to continue advocating the role of choral singing in our communities, schools, and places of worship. I will support the role of church music for every age group, style, and medium: from worship band to childrens’ music to handbells, toward the creative blend of liturgy, text, and music. Church musicians have an important task of creating an authentic and purposeful worship experience for all people. Through the TCDA model, all church musicians can advo-cate and support each other.

Dr. Aaron C. Hufty is the Associate Pastor of Worship and Music at First Baptist Church of San Antonio. Prior to FBCSA, Hufty spent 15 years in the classroom, nine at Northside ISD at Coke Stevenson MS and Sandra Day

O’Connor HS. While completing his DMA, Hufty directed the UT Women’s Chorus. Recently, he worked at Baylor University teaching Music Appreciation, Choral Conducting and Women’s Choir. He created the newest Baylor ensemble, VirtuOSO, a contemporary a cappella group. Outside the classroom, Hufty is devoted to the creation of a singing culture. He was a charter member of the San Antonio Chamber Choir, director of the Northside Elementary Honor Choir, San Antonio Opera Chorus, and the San Antonio Choral Society. He served two state ACDA honor groups (2012 Mississippi HS Conductor and 2013 Missouri Church/Community Conductor). Hufty earned a BS in vocal music from Northwest Missouri State University; a MM in conducting from the University of Texas at San Antonio; and a DMA in conducting from the University of Texas at Austin.

If elected…It has been my privilege to serve Texas in the

past fifteen years at nearly every level of music

education, and I am blessed for the opportu-nity to serve TCDA as Church Division VP. It is my desire to be not only an effective liaison to my full-time ministerial colleagues, but to also serve as a resource and encourager to all who serve churches in a music leadership role. We are aware how music unifies the Body in worship, and it is my desire to help others with the skills, literature, and resources to create the most meaningful worship experience possible.

Joshua Taylor is the Director of Worship and Music at First Presbyterian Church in Dallas. Prior to FPC, Taylor was on the choral staff at Kansas State University and was Director of Music at Trinity Presbyterian

Church and Director of Choirs at Navo Middle School in Denton. He led the FPC Chancel Choir and Chamber Choir in the First Concert Series including collaborations with the Dallas Chamber Orchestra. The choir’s CD entitled “Sounds of the Season: Advent and Christmas at First Presbyterian” was released in November 2013. Taylor presented sessions on the “Early Years of a Career in Church Music” for ACDA and a session on “Advent, Lent, and Ordinary Time, Oh My! Strategies for Advanced Planning in the Church” for TCDA. He has presented for SWACDA, the Kansas Music Educators Association and the Presbyterian Association of Musicians. He serves as the Musician Columnist for the journal Call to Worship and was named the Metroplex Children’s Choir Teacher of the Year in 2010. He served a term on the Executive Board of the Presbyterian Association of Musicians and will serve as the 2014 Mo-Ranch/PAM Worship & Music Conference Director. Taylor holds a BME from the University of North Texas and a MM in choral conducting from Kansas State University.

If elected…It is an honor to be nominated to represent

the church division of TCDA. If elected, I will work to provide engaging clinicians, interesting sessions and guest speakers for the many church musicians that make up the member-ship of TCDA. Whether a bi-vocational church musician, a full-time veteran, or a student wanting to learn more, TCDA has an opportu-nity to support the full-range of experiences found in Texas churches and synagogues. As worship changes in the 21st century church, TCDA should be “front and center” as the organization providing an ecumenical bridge that honors the past and supports the best of choral music in the church that is still to come! I will strive to foster relationships and dialogue between our diverse members to ensure the continued excellence we have grown to expect from our organization. If elected, I will serve this organization, which has been so much a part of my career as a teacher and church musician, with my full creativity, imagination, and energy.

Welcome to the 2014 Convention

I am looking forward to seeing our many returning mem-bers and meeting the new members who recently joined. We have over 100 new members this year, representing all regions of Texas, which is very exciting! TCDA is YOUR association. It is the members driving the goals of TCDA and guiding decisions on workshops, sessions, and events through feedback and suggestions. So, let me encour-age you to become involved in TCDA. For example, many of our new members this year are serving as Clinicians, Conductors, and Accompanists, bringing their expertise to Convention. There is no better way to jump right in! We have over 60 Clinicians this year, a record number. Members can also volunteer for service on Committees, such as our huge

Hospitality Committee of over 45 members. A Convention of this magnitude simply can’t be done without the help of our Committees, members and officers. Some members serve in various roles for years, and then decide to run for a Board posi-tion, bringing their expertise to an even higher level to benefit TCDA. We appreciate any and all that you do!

TCDA needs your involvement to continue moving forward, so think of ways to participate. Talk with current Board members; believe me, they will welcome your questions and will have lots of suggestions for you. Have a great time at Conven-tion. Relax, Rejuvenate, and Reenergize for the upcoming year. Thanks for coming.

Childcare Information and Guidelines

Childcare provided by Fit For a King. Twenty years of experience and bonded for your protection. Trained in CPR and First Aid.

• Plan to take strollers with you, as there is no extra space in the rooms.

• No meals will be provided or served. Snacks of raisins, Cheerios, cookies, and punch are served mid-morning and mid-afternoon.

We ask that only one parent come into the room with the child. Older chil-dren and friends are asked to wait outside.

• Please list the sessions you will attend with room numbers. Naming the Convention Center will not be adequate, as we must be able to reach you in the event of an emergency.

• We supply age-appropriate toys, games, vid-eos, and books. Do not bring personal toys.

• For the benefit of the entire group, chil-dren who are ill will not be admitted. Also, parents will be called to pick up children who repeatedly hit, bite, or are inconsolable for long periods.

2014 TCDA commissioned workC H U R C H D I V I S I O N

If you haven’t yet heard of Dan Forrest, you will at this year’s TCDA convention! At the age of 36, Dan is becoming known as “a composer of substance” (Columbus Dispatch) with “superb choral writing . . . full of spine-tingling moments” (Salt Lake Tribune). He has composed many beautiful pieces of music, including Good Night, Dear Heart; You Are the Music; and most recently, Requiem for the Living. Dan was always the accompanist for choirs growing up, and attended a choral festival every year in high school that was led by a conductor with real musicianship and real choral technique. “It opened my eyes to what was possible with choirs, even though I was at the piano bench most of the time.”

Dan will introduce a new commissioned piece at this year’s Convention, entitled Hymn of Creation. Dan explained that the piece is a new setting of Isaac Watts’ venerable text, I Sing The Mighty Power of God, and since the theme of the TCDA Worship Service this year is “Heaven and Earth Are Full of Your Glory” (a quote from the Sanctus movement of his Requiem for the Living), “all the music revolves around that theme—the duality of heaven and earth, and yet how both reveal God’s glory at every turn. It is a majestic, sweeping setting for SATB choir, piano/organ, brass quintet, and percussion, with much attention to painting the nuances of the Watts’ text.”

This year’s Festival Chorus will also perform two movements of Requiem for the Living. I asked Dan

about his expectations for a group of church choir singers performing one of his most widely known works, and Dan replied, “I work with all kinds of choirs, from professional choirs of trained singers, to church choirs made up of volunteers who just love to make a joyful noise. With professional or trained groups, the focus is more on using the people to create music; with volunteer groups, sometimes the focus is on using the music for the sake of the people. Either way, I am glad for the music-making and the music-makers, and we make the very best music we’re capable of—so I am looking forward to working with the Texas choir.”

Dan believes that choral singing is important for everyone, not just the highly talented. “Music, apart from all its secondary benefits, enriches, ennobles, and uplifts its performers and its listeners. Singing is an innately human thing to do—people of every culture sing! And choral singing is the ultimate music-making experience, as the whole choir strives for unity of breath and tone and color, for a unity of one voice, amidst the richness that the diversity of voices creates in a single voice.”

In addition to the Worship Service, members have an opportunity to visit with Dan at a Meet the Composer session, and he will also participate in High School Student Leadership Day, offering students a rare glimpse into what it means to become a young composer (members welcome). Don’t miss the latest composition premiered by Dan Forrest on July 28, 2014, in San Antonio.

performing groups

The Ken Davis Chorale is composed of singers united together through the artistic direction and inspiration of Ken Davis. The kinship began in 1989 at Texas Tech University when Davis was Director of Choral Activities. For twelve years, the University Choir, under Davis’s direction, received numerous invitations to perform at the TMEA Convention, the ACDA Convention,

Lincoln Center, and to participate in a professional recording by Naxos Records. Twenty-two years after Davis’s appointment, former members of the University Choir now join together to renew their spirits and their song. The result is an inspiring choral ensemble dedicated to bringing beauty and moving accomplishments to the arts so desperately needed by a world in search of peace and harmony.

The Ken Davis ChoraleMonday 4:00 pm

The mission of The Austin Handbell Ensemble is to exemplify excellence in handbell ringing and to promote musical education at all levels. Bob Avant, Director of the AHE since 1995, first rang a bell in the early 1980’s and soon assumed the role of director at First United Methodist Church followed by Central Presbyterian Church, and currently at First Baptist Church in Austin, where he has been handbell director since 1994. During his tenure, AHE has performed for area and national events and released four CD recordings. Fifteen members, five octaves of handbells, five and a half octaves of handchimes, coordinating tremendously and collaborating fiercely, to create the smoothest, most expressive musical experience possible, makes this a performance not to be missed.

The Austin Handbell EnsembleMonday 6:00 pm

The San Antonio Chamber Choir is an ensemble of professional voices dedicated to enriching the cultural life of South Texas through artistic performances of the finest choral music. Since creating the choir nine years ago, Scott MacPherson has molded the San Antonio Chamber Choir into the city’s premier professional ensemble. Beginning next season, the SACC will perform in a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility as a part of the new Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. The Choir is saying farewell to Artistic Director MacPherson, who is stepping down this summer, and welcomes new Artistic Director Rick Bjella, who will join them in fall 2014.

procedure for selecting musicThroughout the year the Board of

Directors reads more than 2000 new music publications from participating publishers. Then by a voting process the selections are narrowed to the packets we read at Convention. As specified in the constitution, music chosen should be new music. The selection committee, therefore, restricts its choices to music published

during the prior year. Exceptions include special categories determined by the Board and the All-State Choir repertoire.

TCDA’s stated purpose since its inception is to organize and operate a new music reading clinic each summer. With the assistance and cooperation of various Texas music retail companies and contributing music publishers, the

TCDA Convention offers its membership a privileged screening of new choral octavos. Realizing that not every chosen selection will be appropriate for every TCDA member, the committee respectfully appreciates your understanding of the process. Suggestions for selections fitting the new music requirement are always welcome.
