Interrupting our current program . . . (Eric Ericson)

by Leave a Comment


I finally found my copy of Ron Jeffers' notes from attending a workshop with Eric Ericson. These are so good and illustrate many aspects of Eric's art, so I thought it worthwhile to interrupt my current blog series on worthwhile reading to give this. As the pdf states, it's from a workshop in 1981 (Haystack is a large rock–shaped like a Haystack–at Cannon Beach, OR).
 
Most of you will know Ron as the owner of publisher earthsongs or for his (invaluable–and this really is a book you want on your shelf!) book on translations of Latin texts (or the follow-ups in other languages by different authors). But you may not know that Ron was an absolutely first-rate choral conductor at Oregon State University and other places.
 
Well, so I did recommend a book after all!
 
Enjoy Ron's notes!

  1. I have thought for many years that Ron Jefferes and Gordon Paine deserve some sort of honor and recognition from ACDA for their major contribution to choral music by the compilation and publication of the “Translations and Annotations” series. These are monumental, they are true heroes.
