What an absolutely delicious composition!  I'm keeping this site so I can listen to it over and over!!!

This is the first song from a collection of descriptions of love from 8-10 year-olds. The set is called "Love Is". Sung by soprano, Tess Altiveros.

When Someone Loves You from "Love Is"

Elegy is a heart-wrenching violin and piano piece written by Emerson Eads. It is written for Frank Felkl based on his work "Color of Gold" commissioned by the Opera Fairbanks. 

Elegy

This cadenza was written for my son, Erik, who was obsessed with the Sexy Sax Man at the time, and his shenanigans with George Michael's Careless Whisper. I had a lot of fun intertwining the themes from within this movement with this tune and harmonizing them all in a smooth jazz/Elgar concerto sort of language.

Haydn C major, II Cadenza

Emerson Eads - Summer Tern for Flute Choir: I. Summer Tern

Emerson Eads - Sonata for Flute and Piano: III. Meditation

Emerson Eads joined the faculty of Minot State University in the Fall of 2018 as their new Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Music.

Active as a clinician, composer, and conductor, Dr. Eads has devoted himself to music of social concern. His Mass for the Oppressed, a setting of the Ordinary of the Mass featuring textual interpolations by his brother Evan Eads, and a Credo adapted from the diary of Pope Francis before his ordination, holds particular poignancy for the social issues of our time. The Mass was written for the release of the Fairbanks Four (native Alaskan’s from the composer’s home town) who spent 18 years in prison wrongfully. His newest cantata “…from which your laughter rises.” for mezzo-soprano, oboe, and orchestra, was written for the mothers of the Fairbanks Four, and was paired in a concert featuring Haydn’s Stabat Mater, conducted to acclaim. His newest opera, The Princess Sophia, about the sinking of the SS Princess Sophia in October of 1918, was premiered in Juneau, Alaska on October 25th, 2018.

Dr. Eads studied choral conducting with Dr. Carmen-Helena Téllez at the University of Notre Dame working with eminent choral conductors such as, Joseph Flummerfelt, Stephen Cleobury, Anne Howard Jones, and Peter Phillips among others. He studied composition with Alaskan composer John Luther Adams.
