Mark Dugas
20th - century
United States of America
Mark Dugas (20th century), an American composer.
Dugas: "After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Louisiana State. University in 1983, I enrolled in the Master of Music Composition program and studied under Dr. Dinos Constantinides. After completing my coursework, I accepted a job at the University of Texas in network engineering. I never completed my degree, but have always been involved in music of some kind. I am a data network engineer by day and a composer at night."
Pie Jesu
Pie Jesu for SATB, violin and organ, should work well as a meditation piece in any worship service. The melody is pleasingly simple and enjoyable. The work does lack a bit of variation aside from key changes. The composer may think about this in future works. Other than that criticism, I believe any congregation would enjoy this.
