Jason Falkofsky
Director of Choral & Liturgical Music
As many of you know last school year the Chorus commissioned an original piece by local composer Kevin Foster. The piece, a fresh new arrangement of the popular spiritual “Somebody’s Knockin’ At Your Door”, was immediately picked up for publication by Santa Barbara Music Publishing and has been rolled out with their new Fall Choral Catalog.
The Chorus is featured choir on the sample audio for the piece and the Cat-o’-Tonics a featured in a YouTube video from their Spring Concert this past May. You can access the publishers website by following this link: http://sbmp.com/SR1.php?
Due to demand the publisher suggested he create and SATB version as well. You will hear a totally different choir under this version.
As another bit of bragging rights…Every piece sold will bear the inscription “Commissioned by the Saint Ignatius High School Men’s Chorus, Jason Falkofsky, Director”
Unfortunately, we do not receive any residuals but I am extremely proud to have been part of this creative process and to know that our guys played a significant role in bringing this piece to life.
If you did not catch one of our performances of the piece last year you will the opportunity to do so on Friday, October 21 @ 7:00pm in the Breen Center. Come also to hear and support the singing men from Saint Xavier High School as they will be joining us in concert that evening for our annual collaboration. The concert is free and open to the public.
