The Choral Music of David Reznick

About David

David Reznick was born in Los Angeles in 1939. He studied composition at UCLA with John Vincent, the man who succeeded Schoenberg as professor of composition there. He did graduate work at San Francisco State University and at Oberlin College. He's been composing ever since, choral music almost exclusively.

For many years, David taught vocal and general music in southern (Sunnymead) and northern (Daly City) California. He was choral director at the March Air Force Base Protestant Chapel in Sunnymead; Island United Church in Foster City, CA; and First Universalist Church in Denver, CO. While in Denver he formed and conducted a chamber group specializing in English madrigals. As a tenor he sang with the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, the Oakland Symphony Chorus, the Roger Wagner Chorale, and the Cantata Choir of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music; and he worked extensively as a tenor soloist.

His most recent publication is an Ave Maria for treble voices, available from Lorenz (15/2051R). He currently resides in Bothell, Washington, a suburb of Seattle.
