Biography of Gary Daigle
Gary
Daigle's work as a composer, artist and producer of pastoral music continues
to offer a wide range of musical, liturgical and pastoral experience to
parish ministers and liturgical artists.
Gary's
ease of performance and ability to compose attractive, singable lines
are part of a musical evolution that includes a Bachelor of Music degree
from Southeastern Louisiana University.
His liturgical expertise received great impetus when he joined the program in liturgical studies in Arizona at the Corpus Christi Center for Liturgical Studies, the Southwestern epicenter for liturgical scholarship, which had been directed by John Gallen, SJ. At that time, Gary served as Director of Music Ministry at the Franciscan Renewal Center (The Casa - Scottsdale, AZ).
After his work at the center, he moved on to other churches in Arizona, California, and Illinois. He is presently the Associate Director of Music at St. Anne Catholic Church in Barrington, IL.
His collaborations with composers such as The Dameans (Remember Your Love), Rory Cooney (Covenant Hymn), Marty Haugen and Ed Foley, Caphuchin (The Church Gathers and The Church Breaks Bread) and his activity on the national conference and workshop scene all indicate that Gary Daigle has continued to evolve and has continued to produce music that not only serves the American church on a regular basis, but that has helped shape the American church's aesthetic profile.
His recent contribution has been as liturgical consultant and music editor of the catechetical series "Christ Jesus, The Way" published by Benziger Co.
