Harmonium Choral Society has announced the winners of its 29th Annual High School Composition Contest, with three of the winning pieces set to be performed at the ensemble’s upcoming spring concert in Morristown, New Jersey.

Sophomore Theodore Tavi Hein of Kinnelon takes the grand prize for his setting of Sara Teasdale’s Spring in War-Time for piano and chorus. A student at both The Lindeblad School of Music and Mannes Conservatory’s prep division, Hein is a two-time winner of the MEA-NJ Eric Steiner Original Composition Competition and was among the youngest composers invited to the International Summer Music Festival and Academy in Ochsenhausen, Germany.

Second prize goes to Gabriel Tarrow, a senior at Columbia High School in Maplewood, for The Rising of the Storm, a setting of verses by Paul Laurence Dunbar for piano and chorus. It marks Tarrow’s fourth time placing in the contest. Ryan Snyder of Morristown High School takes third prize for an a cappella choral setting of the same Teasdale poem. Two honorable mentions were awarded to Nate Lawton of Rutgers Preparatory School and Anuj Shah of JFK Memorial High School in Iselin.

The winning works will be featured alongside the ensemble’s spring concert, Ride the Storm, on June 6 at 7:30 p.m. and June 7 at 3 p.m. at Morristown United Methodist Church. The broader program includes new choral settings of texts by Alexander Hamilton, Abigail Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Lafayette by composers David Thomson, Melissa Dunphy, Jackson Berkey, Laurel Luke Christensen, and Mark Miller.
