Alice Parker (b.1925), is a composer of choral music living in a small village in the Western mountains of Massachusetts. Her career that spans over seventy years initially having found prominence as Robert Shaw's protégé and then as a choral composer with strong collaborators, such as Archibald McLeish and Eudora Welty, or subjects whose strength lies in their emotional intensity or commitment to social justice, such as Emily Dickinson or Martin Luther King. Alice's musical reach is extensive and inclusive, from songs for children and church hymns to the cathedral and concert hall. In "Alice," the documentary film, Alice Parker collaborates with Eduardo Montes-Bradley in a series of intimate conversations that illuminate her artistic achievements.
