Discover the Music
The Teresa Tedder sound is moving, powerful and unique. When commissioned to compose for a sacred service, she does so with an uncommon contemporary feel that plays easily in a traditional setting, while her vocal and orchestral arrangements of 16th century Latin works are breathtaking in complexity. Singers easily follow her natural lines of harmony, saying ,“The music almost sings itself.”
The multi-movement pieces she wrote and directed for our National Association of Pastoral Musicians conventions were as powerful to sing and perform as they were to experience in the audience.
Patti Such and Martha Richardson, National Association of Pastoral Musicians.
