10 days between Boston and Chicago—time with the best friends and family, meeting new people, and producing Sean Shepherd’s Octet with the incredible musicians of the Grossman Ensemble. Grateful for all of it. Love feeling happy and having purpose!

10 days between Boston and Chicago—time with the best friends and family, meeting new people, and producing Sean Shepherd’s Octet with the incredible musicians of the Grossman Ensemble. Grateful for all of it. Love feeling happy and having purpose!

Grateful to have been the producer for Sean Shepherd’s Octet this week with members and guests of the Grossman Ensemble in Chicago.

The funny thing about the kind of producing I do? I don’t do anything technical—that magic is handled by an incredible sound engineer. I check for musical things: takes that are especially good or tiny errors to note so editing is easier later. I get to be a fly on the wall for all the musical discussions between performers and composer. I get to be the “voice from above” via a feedback mic system that can talk to the ensemble if something is needed. Usually those things are about careful silences between the wonderful playing or minuscule adaptions to hone something that’s already fantastic.

This is my favorite way to #CareAboutTheNotes.

What happens in a rehearsal before a recording? It’s a lot like any other rehearsal—just with an extra layer of focus.

There’s a lot of caring about the notes. Beat patterns are solidified. Articulations and bowings are double-checked—is it up? is it down? The composer might make tiny adjustments, but only minuscule ones. There are insights into mood, feeling, and characterization. Collaborative discussions, as appropriate.

I’m taking notes today as producer. Tomorrow, my job is to stay out of the way—but also to listen carefully. If something’s missing in the takes, or I hear something different through the headphones, I step in. Balance, phrasing, detail.

I always need pens and paper with me ✨
Whether it’s note cards, my favorite pens, or a cozy coffee setup, I like to have everything on hand for jotting down ideas. Not pictured: my laptop, iPad, and phone—set up for teaching from my hotel room yesterday.

What’s in your bag when you travel?

A quiet moment before the music begins. The stage is set, the scores are in place, and soon these empty stands will be filled with people bringing Pärt and MacMillan’s music to life. Pre-concert calm before the sound.

Behind the scenes at our final rehearsal for tomorrow’s concert of Pärt & MacMillan! Finding my note, adjusting vowels mid-vowel to avoid an ugly diphthong, and savoring my favorite chord in the whole concert program—every little moment counts.

Saturday rehearsal starting with Lord, Let Me Know Mine End by Hubert Parry. The Alto II part spans my whole range—including a high note I’d usually avoid! But Parry sets it up so well. We’re singing it at our regular Sunday service tomorrow.

After the Parry, we focused on music for next Friday’s concert (not in the clip), by MacMillan & Pärt, two of the world’s leading living liturgical composers.

Tonight, I sang in the Ash Wednesday service at Emmanuel Episcopal Church. It’s beautiful to observe rituals from within the choir. Though this video is just tiny clips, it gives you my literal view of the evening.

We sang James MacMillan’s Miserere, a piece I find myself liking more and more each time I sing it. What did you sing for Ash Wednesday?

What an amazing concert—Pitch Craft Collective and Go Compose North America combined into one!

First, I need to thank Julie Bosworth, Michael Manganiello, and Hui-Chuan Chen for their stunning performances. I now know a bit more about American football thanks to one of the compositions brilliantly performed by Michael, and I can confirm that Julie does an amazing owl impression! But seriously, their singing was beautiful, full of varied colors, and full of amazing performance skills.

A huge thank you to Michael Rickelton, Go Compose North America’s Lead Composition Tutor, for being such a fantastic partner in this and for all the work he does behind the scenes.

Go Compose North America started around this time five years ago with our first online workshop—so it’s super cool to have had our first-ever public, in-person concert today!

🎶 Meet Micah Seliger! 🎶

A winner in Go Compose North America’s Winter Song Composition Competition, Micah’s composition, “15 Degrees F; 120 Decibels; 4 Touchdowns,” will be performed live by Michael Manganiello and Dr. Hui-Chuan Chen at SONG! on March 1.

Micah is a 7th grade student from Howard County, Maryland, who has been studying composition for about eight months with Michael Rickelton. He has played violin for seven years and loves modern music, sports, and especially baseball (Go Os!)—with football (Go Ravens!) coming in a close second.

This composition was particularly exciting for him to create because it allowed him to combine his love of music and sports!
