Attention to detail. Every note, every nuance just so. Fresh. Creative, out-of-the-ordinary arrangments. Unusual instrument combinations. Definately not your run-of-the-mill, mundane, sound-alike writing. Curl up by the fire and let the music transport your imagination to far away places.
COMPOSER"S BIO
Jesse Ayers has had his "classical" concert music performed across the United States, as well as in Europe, Japan, Russia and New Zealand, and has twice had his music selected by the International Society of Contemporary Music to represent the United States at the prestigious World Music Days festival (Slovenia 2003 and Warsaw 1992).
His most recent work, JERICHO, a large-scale surround-sound composition for wind symphony, choir, and narrator, was recently performed in nine cities across the southern and mid-western United States by the Wind Symphony of Concordia University River Forest under the direction of Dr. Richard Fischer. It was premiered and recorded in 2005 by the Valparaiso Univerisity Chamber Concert Band under the baton of Dr. Jeffrey Scott Doebler.
Ayers' other surround-sound work, scored for either wind symphony (band) or orchestra, ...AND THEY GATHERED ON MOOUNT CARMEL, has been performed by a number of collegiate symphonic bands and has also been recorded on CD by the same Valparaiso ensemble. His work for solo tuba and synthesized tape, THE DANCING KING, has been performed on four continents and released on two CDs.
Ayers is currently a Professor of Music at Malone College where he received the 2001 Distinguished Faculty Award for Scholarship/Creative Expression. He has received 15 awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), and grants from Meet the Composer and the American Music Center.
