BEHIND BARS: MUSIC for
healing & Reconciliation
2021-2022

Music composition can develop the fundamentals of theory but can also stimulate broader, deeper learning if compositions have a specific focus. “Behind Bars: Art for Healing and Reconciliation” was inspired by Gary Tyler, former death-row convict, who visited Viterbo music theory classes in September 2021 and described his personal transformation via theater and visual art during his 41 years of incarceration at the Louisiana State Penitentiary - Angola.  Gary shared his poetry and gave the students permission to set it to music.  While not all students chose to set Gary's poetry, his message inspired original poetry and music that speaks to depth of the human experience.
