hunter t. johnson (he/him) is a dynamic young composer with a rapidly growing catalog of choral works, art songs, and chamber pieces. He takes inspiration from issues of social justice and conflict, working to give voice to sentiments and ideas that he feels are ignored in everyday life. In composing vocal works, he seeks poetry and texts that range from those that explore nature and beauty to those that examine social issues such as self-harm, suicide, and other traditionally avoided topics. He has completed commissions for art songs and choral works, including several works for Grammy Award-winning soprano Christine Brewer.
An active choral musician, hunter has performed with and conducted groups in concerts across the United States. He is one of the co-founders and the conductor of the choral ensemble catenary. hunter’s composition Stars was awarded the 2017 Missouri Choral Director’s Association Opus Award.

An arrangement of this for TTBB would be beautiful
@@smcannon29 thank you; i think so too!
oh my god. A poem by richard siken turned into a choral work. Absolutely amazing.
Lovely. Glad to have discovered your music today! :)
thank you very much!
gut
Oh wow, that hurt in the best of ways. Was admittedly not expecting to cry this early in the day, but you captured aching and longing and catharsis so well. Thanks so much for this!
Stunning harmonies!
oh man this is incredible. I'm singing along at home and can feel every word of the performance directions... let alone imagining what it would be like to sing this in a choir. thank you for creating such beautiful music :)
just wow. need to program this
Feel free to reach out via my site, and let me know how I can help!
lovely
Folksong, Love Song.
this really is stunning, having only listened and performed the Esenvalds version of these words by Sarah Teasdale, and I can say with confidence this is every bit as, if not more, beautiful.
this means a lot to me, thank you so much!
thanks for placing the compact piano version on the bottom, it really helps for understanding the harmonies
it takes so long but it’s worth it 😂 if you check out my “a beautiful boy” that reduction took FOREVER
Hello there. I'm from Greece and I study in a music university and I really want to become a choral director. If i make it i was thinking on working at this incredible piece. Is there a chance they can send it here in Greece?
shoot me an email and i’m happy to help!
@@huntertjohnson I sent a message on your website. Thank you!
wow! is there a way that i could get the sheet music for this to sing on my senior recital?
these song is so hauntingly beautiful, and so deeply personal and intimate and powerful
You can send me a note through the contact page on my website huntertjohnson.com!
wow this is stunningly beautiful 🥹 and the emotion of the staff text is so intimate and moving
thank you! i’m glad you connected with it 😊
Is this on Spotify??
it is not; this wonderful recording is non-commercial from a live performance by Choral Arts Initiative!
I'll have to try this out sometime!
What a beautiful song! you're easily one of my favorite composers of this century. Never stop
thank you!!!
Wow
this is amazing, all your works make me wish i could sing lol
Absolute rubbish. Bad Eric Whitacre.
Omg that ending🤍😭 As an alto I loooove that 9th clash with the soprano. Utterly beautiful. I’ve sung this poem to a different melody and it’s really interesting to see a more melancholic approach
i love my altos!!!!!
This piece is wonderful, I hope I have an opportunity to perform this in the future.
wow. just wow. the way the choir explodes from a unison on the word “touches” gives me chills. its incredible. thank you for your work!
thank you so much! i can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Choral Arts Initiative.
@@huntertjohnson of course! youre welcome! i sent you an email through your website, do you mind letting me know if you got it? i mightve put down the wrong email on my end. thanks!
@@alxnmxsic you can email me at huntertjo@gmail.com; the website form acts up sometimes!
I gotta say, this is an incredibly good sight reading exercise lol~ I love those dissonances, utter chills✨🤍
i had a chance to finally sing the tenor line this past summer; a couple moments of “ooh, that’s a hard leap!” 😂
I've recently come across your pieces randomly on a rabbit hole of choral music and I genuinely think you might be my favourite composer of the 21st century. I have never heard music like this, it's like what I hear in my head but never know how to transcribe. I wish I could write like you it's just gorgeous
you are so kind, thank you!! i owe most of it to the poetry 😅
this is severly underrated. amazing!
thank you!!!
Hauntingly beautiful, I love this piece.
thank you so much!
2:14 gives me goosebumps. Amazing.

Incredible
thank you!
Beautiful! Keep it up!
This is just stunning. What a beautiful setting to an immaculate text. And the staff text...woah...completely just put into words how I would approach this piece as a conductor and singer. Bravissimo! Would love to program this piece sometime :)
Thank you so much Zachary! Feel free to reach out to me at huntertjo@gmail.com if you’re ever looking for scores or just want to get in touch!
any idea when this piece might be available to purchase? i’d love for my choir to perform this as part of our spring selection.
Hi Michael! You can send me an email (huntertjo@gmail.com) and I’ll be happy to get you a score.
