Edward Lein (b.1955 in Fort Pierce, Florida) lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and holds Master’s degrees in both Music (major professor: John Boda) and Library Science from Florida State University. As a tenor soloist (now retired) he appeared in recitals, oratorios and dramatic works throughout his home state, and drawing on his performance experience the majority of his compositions have been vocal works.

Recent performances of orchestral works, including Meditation for cello, oboe and orchestra (premiered by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra in June 2006) and In the Bleak Midwinter (premiered by the Jacksonville Symphony Players in December 2007), have demonstrated this aesthetic.

WORKS INCLUDE:
— Missa pro defunctis (1990-91), for soloists (SATB), mixed chorus, organ, and instrumental ensemble (Latin & English words) — Missa Cantata (Sung Mass, 1994), for soprano and mezzo-soprano soloists, mixed voices and organ (Latin words) — Sunday Morning: hymns, anthems and Communion service music (1997) — Sunday Morning: Overture on Original Hymn Tunes (1997, rev.2008) — Symphony no. 1 “Divertimento” (1998, rev. 2006 & 2008) for orchestra, in 4 movements — Shores of Shadow: Sandburg Chorales (2006), for mixed voices (SSAATTBB), a cappella, on four poems by Carl Sandburg (also arr.
