O Joy! was composed by Kitty Brazelton as part of the Sixth Annual Essentially Choral Program. Designed by VocalEssence and the American Composers Forum and funded by the Jerome Foundation, Essentially Choral seeks creative and innovative works in a wide range of styles as an opportunity for emerging composers to hear and develop their “works in progress” in a supportive, professional environment. Works commissioned through this program contribute to the expansion and strengthening of the choral repertoire. Essentially Choral affirms the ongoing commitment of VocalEssence and the American Composers Forum to the work of today’s composers and the performance of their music.
