Alfred V. Fedak
Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, organist and composer Alfred V. Fedak attended the Pingry School and graduated from
Hope College in 1975 with degrees in Organ Performance and Music History. He subsequently earned a Masters’
degree in Organ Performance from Montclair State University and has done additional study at Westminster Choir
College (church music), Eastman School of Music (harpsichord continuo), the Institute for European Studies in Vienna,
Austria (music history), and in England at the first Cambridge Choral Studies Seminar at Clare College, Cambridge.
His organ studies were with Prudence Curtis, Roger Davis, Roger Rietberg, and Jon Gillock. A Fellow of the American
Guild of Organists, Mr. Fedak also holds the Guild’s Choirmaster Certificate, and from 1995 to 2000 served as Director
of the AGO’s national Professional Certification Committee. Since 1986 he has been a member of the guild’s national
Board of Examiners: his own grade of 95% on the AGO’s Fellowship paperwork remains the highest score ever achieved
on that demanding, seven-hour examination since the founding of the Guild in 1896.
A widely-published and well-known composer of church music, Mr. Fedak has over 300 choral and organ works in

PY
print, and more than 100 of his hymntunes appear in hymnals and collections throughout the US, Canada, England,
Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan. Four anthologies of his hymns have been published by Selah
Publishing Company: The Alfred V. Fedak Hymnary (1990), Sing to the Lord No Threadbare Song (2001), God of the
Future (2009), and Stones Unthrown (2014). A review of God of the Future in The Hymn (the journal of the Hymn

O
Society in the United States and Canada) called Fedak “the finest composer of hymn tunes working today,” and Harvard
University recently described him as being “widely regarded as one of the greatest living composers of original hymn
C
tunes.”
Mr. Fedak has earned many awards in organ performance and composition, including the AGO’s prestigious S.
Lewis Elmer Award, as well as grants and prizes from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Hymn Society, and
T

the John Ness Beck Foundation, and has received ASCAP composition awards annually since 2001. In 1995 he was
named a Visiting Fellow in Church Music at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas.
O

More recently, he has received additional honors from institutions as diverse as the Pingry School (his alma mater), the
Association of Lutheran Church Musicians, the Casimir Pulaski Society, and the Historic Albany Foundation.
N

He has composed music on commission for numerous churches, cathedrals, schools, colleges, individuals, community
choruses, and for chapters of the AGO, Choristers Guild, the Hymn Society, and the Organ Historical Society. His
choral and organ works have been heard on national television broadcasts, including The Joy of Music and The Hour of
Power, on the syndicated radio programs Sing for Joy and Pipedreams, and on WNYC-FM’s Studio 360. He has writ-
O

ten articles and reviews for The American Organist, The Hymn, Reformed Worship, and Music in Worship. His highly-
reviewed CD, Come, Creator Spirit, was released in 2008 and features nearly 80 minutes of his original organ music.
D

Mr. Fedak has served as organist and choir director for churches and synagogues in the East and Midwest. Since 1990
he has held the position of Minister of Music and Arts at Westminster Presbyterian Church on Capitol Hill in Albany,
where he plays a recently-restored four-manual, 1929 E. M. Skinner pipe organ. In 2014 he was reappointed Organist/
Choir Director of Congregation Beth Emeth in Albany, a position he had previously held from 1991 to 2001. He has
taught organ and keyboard harmony at the College of St. Rose, and is now a member of the adjunct music faculty at
Schenectady County Community College. Mr. Fedak is a Past Dean of the Eastern New York Chapter of the American
Guild of Organists, and is Chapel Organist at Emma Willard School in Troy, New York, where he plays a two-manual
tracker organ built by Fritz Noack. He and his wife Susan are the parents of two grown sons: Peter and Benjamin.
