Mark Gresham
composer / music journalist

Mark Gresham is an American
composer whose music is rooted in traditions of neo-romanticism, yet
explores modern and eclectic influences with a passionate lyricism
that is sensitive to word, history, and sense of place.

WHAT MUSICIANS ARE SAYING "Sing to the Lord a New Song" is very good writing by any standard and was moreover expertly written from the angle of a church choir putting a comparatively challenging piece together over a four-week period. The choir at St. Paul's found the piece a pleasure to perform, as well as fine music, splendidly fit for sacred service. —Karl Henning, composer-in-residence/interim music dir. (2006), Cathedral Church of St. Paul-Boston ["Keep Watch, Dear Lord"] I like its serenity and lovely voice leading. It would be beautiful at a memorial service or for All Saints' Day. —Philip Brunelle, The American Organist |
