Seven Last Words Project - Composer Profile
Todd Hoover
"Expression has always been very important to me."
"It was quite the enthralling challenge for me to compose “Behold! Blues,” as I had to tailor its music to someone else’s lyrics. Using variations on a jazzy, piano-based chord progression that had been awaiting fruition for more than a year, I tried my best to reflect the nuances of Jesus’ final words to Mary and the disciple whom he loved (according to John 19:26-27, as beautifully interpreted by Alice Schultze). More than anything, I feel thankful for this opportunity to worship Christ with my own musical creativity. The arts are rife with sturdy yet underused materials for building the Kingdom of God."
