      Choral Conversations: Mary Lynn Lightfoot

      Mary Lynn Lightfoot is the Choral Editor for Heritage Music Press, a composer, an educator and an extremely funny woman. She has over 230 published choral compositions, and has received an ASCAP Award annually since 1988.

Her works for treble voices are especially popular among women’s choirs and youth choirs. I recently had an opportunity to speak with Amy about her perspective on choral music, her experience working with women’s choirs, and her life as a full-time composer.

      Can you please share a bit about your musical background?

      My parents played recordings of jazz, Broadway, folk and classical music throughout my childhood. I began piano lessons at the age of 4 with Joyce Ucci, who still lives across the street from my parents 44 years later! I learned from her until the day I left for college, and count her among my mentors. In middle school, I sang and played French horn which I continued to do through high school. I developed a passion for Renaissance and Baroque choral music in college. Most summers, from high school through my early 20’s, were dedicated to writing/performing musical theater. My compositional “voice” ar
