59. Breaking Down Jake Runestad's "Earth Symphony"

Today is the final episode of our coverage of the American Choral Director's Association Conference (ACDA) in Dallas. My guest is Jake Runestad, the featured composer of the Finale Concert, who conducted his Earth Symphony for choir and orchestra. Afterwards he came on the show to talk about the performance, share about the piece, and discuss his compositional process.
