David H. Dusing (March 22, 1943 – May 14, 2014) was an American composer, arranger, conductor, and tenor. He is best remembered for his long term partnership with composer and music satirist Peter Schickele with whom he performed and toured regularly from 1990 through 2008.

Raised in Toledo, Ohio, Dusing was trained as a singer and choral conductor at Mount Union College and the New England Conservatory (NEC). After initially working as a music educator for Minerva Local School District he joined the faculty of the NEC where he taught conducting and directed choirs from 1970-1973. He began his career as a tenor during these years; performing frequently in cantatas by Bach conducted by Craig Smith at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Boston and performing as a soloist in oratorios under conductors like Robert Shaw.

Dusing left his position at NEC to join the vocal sextet Songs By Six with who he toured from 1973-1975. He then performed as a member of the Robert De Cormier Singers into the late 1980s. He simultaneously maintained a solo career as a concert tenor and occasional musical theatre actor. In 1984 he founded his own choir, the Dusing Singers, with whom he periodically toured and recorded into the 1990s. He succeeded Norman Luboff as conductor of the Norman Luboff Choir in 1986.

Dusing lived in New York City where he was a frequent collaborator with director and choreographer Nat Horne. From 1992-2010 the two men spent two months of each year in Dayton, Ohio co-staging annual musicals for Muse Machine with Dusing also serving as musical director.

Early life and education

[edit]

The son of Ernest and Ida Mae Dusing,[1] [2] David Henry Dusing was born in Pemberville, Ohio on March 22, 1943.[3][4] He was educated in the Toledo City School District at Arlington Elementary School[5] and Libbey High School; graduating from the latter institution in 1961.[6] He studied music at Mount Union College (MUC) in Alliance, Ohio. There he starred in a student production of Douglas Moore's The Devil and Daniel Webster in 1962,[7] and that same year was elected vice-president of the Mount Union College Choir.[8] He was elected president of the choir in 1963, and was also a singer in the school's Madrigal Singers.[9] He was also active in the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity at the school.[2]

After graduating from MUC in 1966 with both Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education degrees,[10][4] Dusing worked as a music teacher for Minerva Local School District[2] where he was director of the choir at Minerva High School.[11] He simultaneously worked as a graduate assistant at the New England Conservatory (NEC) while pursuing a Masters's degree in choral conducting.[10] On July 1, 1967 he married Cathy Frase at Christ Presbyterian Church in Canton, Ohio.[12][13] Their marriage ended in divorce in 1975.[14]

After graduating from the NEC with a master's degree, Dusing joined the faculty of that conservatory where he taught conducting and conducted choirs.[15] He worked as a resident tenor soloist at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Boston where he performed regularly as soloist in Bach cantatas led by Craig Smith;[16] among them Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen, BWV 11.[17] In 1970 he sang the lead tenor role of the Evangelist in Johann Sebastian Bach's St Matthew Passion under the baton on Robert Shaw at the Blossom Festival; a work presented in honor of the late George Szell who had recently died.[18] In 1971 he was the tenor soloist in Giacomo Carissimi's oratorio Jephte in a concert given at Bates College,[19] and that same year was the tenor soloist in Mozart's Requiem with the Concord Chorale.[20] He was also a tenor vocalist on George Russell's 1971 jazz album Listen to the Silence.[21]

In the Summer of 1972 Dusing toured Europe for seven weeks as a member of the New England Conservatory's choir in a concert tour funded by the United States Department of State.[22] He performed the aria "Un'aura amorosa" from Mozart's Così fan tutte in a concert of opera arias at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre in August 1973.[23] On Labor Day 1976 he was the tenor soloist in the premiere of Morton Gould's cantata Something to Do: A Salute to the American Worker at the John F.

Dusing toured in the vocal sextet Songs By Six from 1973-1975;[27][28][29][30][31][32] resigning from his position at the NEC when he joined this group.[33] The ensemble was organized and directed by Robert De Cormier who also wrote the group's arrangements of both popular and classical music.[34] He then performed as a member of the professional choir, the Robert De Cormier Singers (RDCS), in the late 1970s and 1980s.[35][36][37] He also conducted the RDCS when De Cormier was not able to lead the ensemble.[35] He was still a member of this ensemble as late as 1988.[38]

Dusing founded the choir, the Dusing Singers (DS; also known as the David Dusing Ensemble).[39] The group was actively performing in concert series as early as the Spring of 1984.[40] The choral group toured periodically in the 1980s and 1990s.[41][42][43][44][45][46] This included a Christmas concert presented in conjunction with the RDCS at The Church of the Holy Trinity in 1989.[47] In 1991 the DS released the album The Cool Of The Day: The Music Of Jean Ritchie which featured the ensemble performing vocal arrangement's of Jean Ritchie's music by Dusing.[48] The DS also recorded music for the soundtrack of the 1995 film Dead Man Walking.[39] Dusing also performed as a member of the Norman Luboff Choir and succeeded Luboff as the ensemble's conductor in the last months of his life.[49][50] Following Luboff's death in September 1987, he conducted the choir on a concert tour to Australia in November 1987.[51] He also served as chorus master for Peter Sellars's stagings of Cosi Fan Tutte (1986) and Don Giovanni (1987) in New York.[45]
