DON BESIG (b. 1936) taught public school music at all levels for thirty-one years in western New York. His concert choral groups and show choirs earned fine reputations for their performances at clinics, contests and community events. He is currently director of the adult choir at Perinton Presbyterian Church in Fairport, N.Y. His enthusiasm for working with singers of all ages has led to numerous invitations to serve as guest conductor, clinician and adjudicator. He has conducted festivals and workshops in 42 states and Canada. A graduate of Ithaca College, Besig is a member of Phi Mu Alpha, ACDA, MENC, NYSSMA and ASCAP.

Recognizing a need for choral music written especially for student singers and volunteer church choirs, Besig began composing for his own groups. In 1980, he began collaborating with lyricist Nancy Price, one of his former students. Also a graduate of Ithaca College, Ms. Price holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Music Education and was a high school choir director for ten years. She is a nationally known choral clinician, and continues to be an active soloist and choral singer in the Rochester (N.Y.) area, Her first solo CD, "My Song of Praise" was released in 2003. She is a free-lance music engraver, editor and proofreader, and has served as a member of the Creative Team for the Harold Flamer Music and Glorysound divisions of Shawnee Press. She is a member of Sigma Alpha Iota and ASCAP.

Nearly four hundred original Price/Besig choral compositions and arrangements have been released by leading publishers of school and church music. More than eighteen million copies of their works have been sold, and they have received several ASCAP Special Awards. Through their combined years of singing and directing choirs, the insight they have gained has led the Price/Besig team to create some of the most appealing original compositions and arrangements available for today's school and church choirs.
