He is the composer for the evening. All of the music for the evening was composed in the last century, and is by a variety of composers. The entire evening turns into one piece and it is the orchestration that changes the mood. Each dovetails nicely into the other, all performers agree. Morrison and Timmons said the attempt was to pair the music with the mood of the literature.
Emotional shifts take place within the music, so the transitions from music to poetry flow nicely.
Brewer's poetry is very musical and lyrical, he said. The emotional range of the evening goes from light to serious but Brewer hopes that audience members leave with a good feeling. This performance offers the group an opportunity to go in a different direction. Brewer began his teaching career at USU in 1968. He holds an undergraduate degree from Western New Mexico University, a master's degree from New Mexico State University and a doctorate from the University of Utah.
