In addition to his work as a composer, David Poole is Director of Music at La Mesa Presbyterian Church, founder and Artistic Director of the de Profundis a cappella men’s ensemble, a baritone soloist, and a teacher of singing. His efforts have sneaked into the catalogs of several publishers and include works for mixed chorus, men’s chorus, treble chorus and handbell choir, as well as a memoir, The River’s Bend. Married with two children, he resides in Albuquerque, from whence he roams the streams and lakes of northern New Mexico, seeking inspiration and the occasional foolhardy trout.
