Composer and conductor Jeremy Sagala (B.M., M.M., M.A., Ph.D.) has been commissioned and performed by such performers as the New York New Music Ensemble, DoublePlay, Steve Beck, the Lydian Quartet, the ACME Ensemble, and many others. His music has been described as 'incredibly elegant' with 'gorgeous pitches and lovely orchestration'. A fascination with the fluidity of musical narrative is apparent in each composition, and he strives to create an experience in which the listener is thoughtfully guided through vivid musical space. Timbre, pitch, rhythm, orchestration, defining events, counterpoint, and phrasing all play important roles in the development of musical meaning within his work. While primarily an acoustic composer, he has produced several electronic works, a medium well suited to the delicate and precise textures found elsewhere in his compositions. Having previously taught at Brandeis University and Northeastern University, he is currently an Assistant Professor of Theory & Composition at Southeastern Louisiana University where he teaches Theory & Solfege, Composition, Counterpoint, Form & Analysis, Schenkerian Analysis, and 20th c. Techniques.
