One of my favorite composers is Thomas Pasatieri. This past semester was the first time that I had ever sang one of his songs, "Lullaby for a Lost Child", which I had a great personal connection with. Here is a video that I found on Youtube of another young lady singing this song.
As a small child I experienced the death of my infant brother. This song helped me to conquer the sadness that I have felt twelve years after that tragedy in my life. This song is what drew me to Pasatieri's music. My favorite part of being a musician is making an emotional connection with the audience, which this song made it very easy to do.
Among his 22 operas, Pasatieri has also composed film orchestrations for some of my favorite movies. These films include The Little Mermaid, American Beauty, and The Shawshank Redemption.
