Blake Henson: Bio & Choral Music | Santa Barbara Music Publishing, Inc.

Blake Henson

Blake Henson has been praised for his music that Gramophone Magazine says "moves from soothing sentiments to more exultant territory with exceptional harmonic vibrancy; it casts a spell that must be even more thrilling when heard in live performance," and the New Jersey Star-Ledger called "powerful and thoughtful at the same time."

A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Dr. Henson holds bachelor's and master's degrees in music theory and composition from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, as well as the degree Doctor of Musical Arts in composition from The Ohio State University. He has received numerous commissions from colleges and high schools, churches, community choruses and orchestras, and professional ensembles, including Chanticleer, Westminster Choir, Kantorei, Williamson Voices, Anam Cara, Masterwork Chorus and Orchestra, The Thomas Circle Singers, and Verdigris Ensemble. His music has been performed in some of the finest venues in the United States including Carnegie Hall, The National Cathedral, and Spivey Hall; as well as in concert halls in sixteen countries. His choral works have been performed at ACDA National Conventions as well as by numerous All-State choirs. He is the co-author of The Composer’s Craft: a practical guide for students and teachers, From Words to Music: a practical guide for students and teachers, and The Beginner’s Guide to Arranging.
