Composer Spotlight: Gabriel Cremeens, Part 1

A Sacrifice of Praise

Amy Hogg and Richard Barrett talk with Gabriel Cremeens, one of the more prolific of the current generation of cantors and composers working in English. In this episode he shares his beginnings as a composer at Hellenic College, followed by more intensive training in Greece studying composition with master teachers and chanting in churches there, and then landing as the full-time -- yes, full-time! -- protopsaltis of St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
