TICE, ADAM M. (b. 1979)

Adam M. Tice (born October 11, 1979) began composing while still in high school in Elkhart, Indiana. By the time he graduated, several of his pieces had already been performed in public. He went on to Goshen College, where he majored in composition, studying with composer Lee Dengler. Adam graduated in 2002.

 

The Goshen College Chamber Choir has performed his music in four states. In the spring of 2001, his brass arrangement of "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," was awarded first prize in the brass division of the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals hymn composition competition. In addition to composing, Adam is an active song-leader and church musician. "Morning Has Broken" for mixed choir and trumpets is Adam’'s first published work.
