What the Soul Already Knows
What the Soul Already Knows is a large-scale symphonic work for choir and orchestra, jointly commissioned by Pacific Chorale under the direction of Robert Istad and The Washington Chorus under the direction of Eugene Rogers.
Rose Ever Blooming
Rose Ever Blooming is a NEW 45-minute Christmas oratorio featuring SATB choir, violin solo, and orchestra. The work-in-progress is a collaboration with composer Timothy C. Takach in partnership with the VOCES8 Foundation Choir and Orchestra and violinist Jack Liebeck.
Creation
An oratorio in three parts, Creation is a celebration of beauty, creativity, and the profound act of bringing life into the world. This work blends music, poetry, and immersive visuals to craft a deeply moving artistic experience.
Minnesota Symphony Project
This new multi-movement orchestral work represents a significant milestone in Jocelyn Hagen’s career, marking her first multi-movement orchestral project developed outside the context of choral writing. The piece will be workshopped and premiered by four regional ensembles across the state: the Winona Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Erik Rohde), the Central Lakes Symphony Orchestra in Alexandria (Bradley Lamprecht), and the St. Olaf College Philharmonia (Chung Park).
