Steve Heitzeg
Emmy Award-winning composer Steve Heitzeg has built one of the most distinctive choral catalogs in contemporary American music — rooted in nature, justice, and an unshakeable belief that music can change things. His choral works range from O Colored Earth, a children's choir plea for peace that has received hundreds of performances worldwide, to the sweeping Lament of the Earth — a large-scale work for SATB chorus, soloists, children's choir, and strings premiered by the National Lutheran Choir. Whether writing for VocalEssence or a classroom choir, Heitzeg brings the same lyrical urgency: the earth needs defending, and voices are a pretty good place to start.
