Alice: At Home with Alice Parker

Streaming video - 2020

“ALICE” is an intimate portrayal of composer, arranger and teacher Alice Parker whose collaboration with Shaw resulted in nearly 200 choral arrangements of folk songs, spirituals, hymns, and carols. These arrangements are still widely performed today and are popular choices for countless high school, college and community choirs. In this unique documentary, filmmaker Montes-Bradley meets the composer over several days during the winter of her 95th birthday to record her memories of her collaborations Robert Shaw, Archibald McLeish, Eudora Welty, Emily Dickinson and Martin Luther King.
