The second movement of Zachary's Symphony of Glances has been released on the Cornell University Wind Ensemble's new release on Albany Records, entitled Augenblick. Purchase the CD on Amazon.com, or download it on iTunes.
Zachary is thrilled to have been named a 2012-13 Fellow of the Douglas Moore Fund for American Opera. This fellowship will place Zachary in residence at six American opera companies over the course of the coming year: the Metropolitan Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Minnesota Opera, New York City Opera, Seattle Opera, and Center City Opera Theater.
Zachary has been named one of the Calgary Herald's 2012 "Compelling Calgarians:"
As a new Calgarian adjusting to the highs and lows of the city's climate, Wadsworth was inspired by several verses in the Book of Job which reflect violent swings in nature. The result was the composition "Out of the South Cometh the Whirlwind."
Novello has just released Zachary's award-winning anthem, Out of the South Cometh the Whirlwind, as part of their Novello New Choral Series. The anthem, for SATB chorus and organ, sets text from the book of Job. Purchase copies here.
