WELCOME!

My commitment to writing distinctive music for
young singers and emerging choirs, as well as mature,
experienced and highly refined ensembles has resulted
in a wide body of diverse works. 

My writing styles range from harmonically rich,
lyrical and buoyant to bold, angular and asymmetrically
rhythmic. 

In each instance, I am committed to texts that resonate
with singers and audiences of all ages -- words that matter.

Linger a little, look and listen, and let me know if I can ever
do anything for you and your singers.

“Intuition, Emotion, Surprise, Beauty, Melody.
Put all these together and you have the brilliance of David Brunner’s
music – surprising melody, beautiful emotions.
David has an intuitive gift for moving us –
it comes from a deep heart.”

“… very well-crafted and musically engaging for both the performers
and the audience. An elegant sense of voice leading…

His works are quality additions to the modern choral repertory!”
