About
Reference Recordings is proud to present True Concord's newest album, A Dream So Bright, featuring two world premiere recordings of works by Jake Runestad. His EMMY-winning choral/orchestral work, Earth Symphony, with poetry of Todd Boss, was commissioned and premiered by True Concord in 2022. Dreams of the Fallen, Runestad's prize-winning work for solo piano, chorus & orchestra, features pianist Jeffrey Biegel and includes texts of the poet Brian Turner, a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan war. Turner states: "When the music lifts to it's peak, when the choir sings into the high cathedral of the human experience-the hairs on the back of my neck take notice, my own heart takes notice, and I am moved once again by the fusion of sound and story. "Dreams of the Fallen" is a compassionate, emotionally-layered, elegant, and poignant work of art that I am proud to be a part of. " A Dream So Bright was recorded in outstanding fidelity by engineer John Polito, and produced by GRAMMY®-award winner Peter Rutenberg of Los Angeles. Recorded May 24-26, 2023 at Camelback Bible Church, Paradise Valley, Arizona
