Pietro Yon, the composer, (1886 - 1943) was an Italian-American organist and composer who lived and worked for the Catholic Church in New York City. Born in Settimo Vittone, Italy he was musically trained in Milan and Turin and later served as organist for the Vatican in Rome. At age 21, he was offered an Organist position in New York where he rose to the position of head organist at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and stayed for the rest of life. James Nathaniel Holland, the lyricist and arranger, is an American classical music composer of operas, symphonies, ballets, songs, and other musical concertworks that incorporate a unique, eclectic, blend of romantic, classical, world and jazz styles.Born and raised in Indiana, he studied music at DePauw University, Vienna Austria, Interlochen National Music Camp and Indiana University (Bloomington, IN). At these schools many of his early pieces were premiered and performed, with one work being selected for main-stage production in the season. Moving to Los Angeles and then settling in New York, he performed professionally sometimes as a singer, sometimes as a pianist, sometimes as choral conductor. He composed incidental music for the stage. In 2002 he founded a composers collective where they showcased their work. He was one of the first composers to participate in the American Music Center's initial on-line library. The New Jersey Concert Opera and the Gay Men's Chorus of New Jersey also featured his comic operas and art songs. From 2005 he moved to Costa Rica where he organized concerts with visiting guest artists to present his chamber music to the public. Presently he lives in a castle, La Corona de los Santos, in the central mountains of Costa Rica.
