October Song

Show me the changing light on the river,
And I'll show you a portrait of time
Its blessings and burdens and blurring of boarders
Between what's yours and what's mine

High in the arc of the waning season
The wild ragged flocks wind their way
By reckoning older than roadmap or reason-
Moonlight, starlight, the land's old sway

Pay attention to this cries the moon
How time pares the light away so soon,
Though deep in the sky, constellations and I
Will tend to the darkness's wounds

Rapids are the water wanting to sing
Wind is how the cottonwoods earn their wings
Intimations of snow in the fields afterglow
Tell more of what's coming than we want to know.

There's wealth in the mill and the market
An a singular wealth of mind
There's wealth of gold in the tamarack
That the lucky among us may find.

For the silos wearing sunsets like crowns
And the oak leaves changing ruby to rust
For the marshes on the outskirts of castaway towns
This is a song for the fugitive dust.
A song for the fugitive dust.

~Max Garland

Zachary J. Moore (b. 1992) is an American composer and arranger, and recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire with a Bachelors degree in Music Education. Zach, who is a native resident of Wisconsin, attended Muskego High School and began composing in 2009 at the age of fifteen. Since then, he has had the opportunity to take master classes and guidance from some of the world’s leading choral composers including Eric Barnum, Dan Forrest, Ola Gjeilo, Ethan Wickman, Timothy Takach and Jake Runestad.

From 2013 to the present, Zach has received an increasing amount of commissions from both choral and instrumental ensembles all over the world. In 2014 the North Central American Choral Directors Association commissioned him for their project, “A Community That Sings.” More recently, he was commissioned by the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire Wind Ensemble to write his first ever instrumental work, In Memoriam, for their 2016 performance at the CBDNA North Central Regional Conference. In addition to his numerous domestic commissions, Zach has also received two international commissions as well, the most recent being for the Cheong Gong High School Male Choir, winners of the 2013 International Busan Choral Competition. Currently, Zach is serving as the 2014-2016 composer-in-residence to The Eau Claire Master Singers. The residency has been comprised of five new commissions, one being The Fall of Rome, commissioned for the Franklin D. Roosevelt 75th Anniversary Concert being held in Washington D.C., 2016.

Aside from commissions, Zach’s compositions have received prestigious performances at state conventions, including Music Educator Association Conventions (Nebraska -2014 and Florida – 2015), Florida American Choral Director’s Association Conference (2015), and the North Central Choral Director’s Association Regional Conference (2014). Internationally, Zach’s works have been performed in Africa, Europe, North America and Asia, with the most recent notable performance being by the Taipei Youth Choir (2015) at the Taipei National Concert Hall.    

Throughout Zach’s career as a composer, he has received distinguished awards for his compositions. In 2010 his first composition received third place in the Wisconsin Student Music Association’s Student Composition Project. More recently, in 2014, he submitted an entry to the renowned American Prize national competition, earning third place as well.
