Odes to Joy home

When we got married in July of 1997, my husband was a graduate student in composition from Indiana University. We chose a poem, which he set to music. My dad worked very hard to learn the piece (he is a "good Lutheran church choir member," and this piece was not typical of the Lutheran church choir repetoire!) and performed it during our ceremony. I was proud of my husband, Doug, for writing such a wonderful piece and for my dad, Mike, who gave the premiere of "Days Together" at his daughter's wedding.
