Here is an update on ONE of our composers:
Douglas J. Cuomo
Have you visited Doug Cuomo's website? You can hear excerpts from some of his impressive pieces such as SEX & THE CITY the TV show and new movie and many other film and TV shows. I just found out he also arranged, produced and conducted strings for numerous pop music artists including:
BRITNEY SPEARS
OOPS I DID IT AGAIN (Jive Records).
#1 pop albumand
N'SYNC
N'SYNC (RCA)
#1 pop album and #1 single
Interestingly he has written only few choral works - including: KYRIE (from And On Earth, Peace: A Chanticleer Mass) http://www.chanticleer.org/about.cfm
and now of course, a new choral work for The Young People's Chorus (www.ypc.org) entitled FORTUNE. This will be his first work for children's chorus.
To figure out what to do, Doug visited one of our YPC December rehearsals and even brought his children to our Family Concert at Carnegie Hall. He thoroughly enjoyed listening to the YPC and was excited and choose an amazing text for his new piece.
