We are very excited to welcome renowned composer Nicholas Reeves to St. Tikhon’s for this weekend retreat!
Over the course of three days participants will explore different models and approaches to writing music for Orthodox Church singers. This workshop is ideal for those who are currently composing or would like to know how to compose for liturgical purposes.
Composer Nicholas Reeves will demonstrate with his own compositions and arrangements how both chant and choral music can be utilized for each person’s context & capabilities within a parish setting.
In addition to demonstrating compositional techniques, Dr. Reeves will also be reviewing a select number of compositions/arrangements by retreat participants. If you are registering and would like to submit a musical work for evaluation during the weekend, please submit your piece to our Music Coordinator, Amy, at admin@stmarts.org . Dr. Reeves will consider each submission and select certain pieces that best represent the compositional techniques discussed to present them to the group as a whole.
Reeves’s works will be sung in the Divine Liturgy on Sunday, November 9 to demonstrate the main teaching goals and practical application.
