PASCO, WA — It is difficult to find music for middle school choirs, said JoLyn Glenn, who directs the choirs at Enterprise Middle School in West Richland and Hanford High School in Richland. The teens are too grown up for little-kids’ songs, but don’t yet have the prowess necessary for adult compositions.
That is why McFadden and Glenn four years ago took the unusual step of having a professional composer write a piece just for their two treble choirs. It went so well that they have jointly commissioned a new work every year.
