The Inside Voice: Michael John Trotta Interview Series

We were so excited to find out that J. W. Pepper created a short video series on composer Michael John Trotta. Trotta has been a MorningStar composer for several years, and more recently has come out with pieces more suited to the Galaxy catalog. This spring, we’re releasing his new work For a Breath of Ecstasy, heard throughout the video series.

Growing up in a musical family, Michael John Trotta was immersed in music from a very young age. As a child, he was in awe of the amazing musicians around him, but he always thought that musical talent was something some people just had. In this interview, Trotta talks about how he went from thinking music was out of reach for him to becoming one of the preeminent young composers in the world.

Watch the complete series below.

MorningStar began in late 1986 as the dream of Rodney Schrank and Ruth Lewis. Both Rod and Ruth had worked in the music department at Concordia Publishing House for a number of years, which gave them the publishing expertise needed to establish a new company. From the beginning, MorningStar has functioned as a non-denominational publishing house focusing on music used in churches whose worship focuses mainly within the liturgical tradition.
