This piece by Jake Runestad (@jakerunestad) is pure emotion. As the voices rise, repeating “let my love be heard,” it feels like a desperate attempt to reach those we’ve lost—an unrelenting call of love that refuses to fade. Absolutely breathtaking. Lyrics: “Angels, where you soar Up to God’s own light, Take my own lost bird On your hearts tonight; And as grief once more Mounts to heaven and sings, Let my love be heard Whispering in your wings.” (From “A Prayer” by Alfred Noyes) • Via ─ @angelic

John and Mary Byun lost their unborn twin girls in October of 2003 at 26 weeks due to complications from twin to twin transfusion syndrome. John, conductor of The Riverside City College Chamber Singers, asked composer Jake Runestad to create a musical work to remember his daughters. This work explores a tradition called keening, found in numerous cultures around the globe, in which a mournful lament is sung as part of a ritual honoring those who have passed on before us. | ChoirBuzz

One of the most emotive modern poems, The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry tells of the refuge that comes from being among the beautiful things of the earth. From the animals to the trees, the poem is a respite for the soul and mind. Composer Jake Runestad takes this poem to an entirely different level with his flowing piano lines, powerful bass solos and wonderfully redemptive denoumet. The piece reflects the overwhelming difficulties of modern life, the worry for our children, but most of

"The Lighthouse Keeper," one of my more personal pieces, is a meditation on savoring every moment of life.

I’ve had such a great time conducting the West Virginia All-State Choir this week. They’ve made some beautiful music, we’ve had lots of laughs, and talked deeply about appreciating what we have, listening to each other, and taking care of our earth. We been ruminating on Joni Mitchell’s words: “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone.” Thanks, West Virginia! | Jake Runestad

Jake Runestad (b. 1986) is particularly valued for his choral compositions which exemplify a desire to write expertly crafted, socially conscious and emotionally potent music. On this album, Runestad explores a profound sea/life journey in ‘The Secret of the Sea’, and projects a powerful expression of grief in ‘Let My Love Be Heard’. “Runestad’s music moves unerringly to interesting and unexpected places within the confines a single work”, stated American Record Guide.

🌲”Come to the Woods” is one of my favorite pieces I’ve written (Shh! Don’t tell the others!). It was so special to collaborate with @conspirareatx for the first time back in 2015 and then to have recorded “The Hope of Loving” album in 2019. Here’s a clip from a collaboration with the Oregon Repertory Singers back in 2023. @orsingers | Jake Runestad

I had a BLAST conducting the Colorado All-State Mixed Choir this year! They worked so hard, shared so much of themselves, told the story of the music with great depth, and built a beautiful community. My super-cool headset microphone seemed like one @britneyspears would use…so it was as affectionately named “Britney” and became our mascot (hence the chant here…). 🤣 Thank you @coaschoir for inspiring me and bringing so much joy to the world. I’m proud of you! ❤️ | Jake Runestad
