Peter Johns
Lives in TX, United States
I have a degree in Creative Arts majoring in composition and music performance and I am currently the Director of Worship and the Arts for an alternative church community in Houston.
I have written three full length musicals so far. 'Edensong' and 'Requiem for Judas - a Parable of Grace' for adults, and a two shows for Children: 'Sheep - The Musical' amd 'The Secret Lives of Nativity Sets'
I have also written a full length Tenebrae Service for choir and soloists that had it's world premier in Houston On Good Friday 2004.
I also adapted and expanded the Requiem to compose a full Requiem that had it's world premier on November 5th 2006
I am currently rewriting some of the Tenebrae and the Requiem as I constantly rewrite and update my works!
I have very eclectic music tastes everything from Arvo Part to the Dixie Chicks but I am an almost obsessive collector of the works of Stephen Sondheim.
The majority of my recent works have been for Choir although all through college (in the U.K. and in slovakia) I was mainly writing Minimalist Instrumental works. |
