Biography
Joel Hunsberger graduated from Central Michigan University with a BS in Instrumental Music and a BS in Chemistry/Physics in 1975. He then taught High School Band and Physics for 4 years before undertaking a career in industry as a Software Quality Assurance specialist until his retirement in 2020. Sacred songwriting and arranging has been a preoccupation throughout his life. He served as a song leader and choir director in his local church for over 25 years where several of these original choral pieces were performed. A special area of interest is to use songs and tunes to memorize scripture, resulting in numerous choruses and choir settings. The most extensive project undertaken was setting the entire Psalm 119 chapter into a suite of 22 choral pieces.
