This week on Moveable Do, Steve talks with multi-talented composer, songwriter, and sound designer Alyson Fewless. From high school serenades with her guitar to award-winning theatrical scores, Alyson’s music is an eclectic blend of emotional authenticity, theatrical flair, and thoughtful craft. Her journey has taken her from the stage to the screen—and now to New Zealand, where she composes while raising a family and exploring new creative territory.
In this episode, Alyson reflects on her early love of songwriting, her evolution into theater and film scoring, and the impact of motherhood on her creative process. We discuss the rhythmic experimentation behind her Prelude in G, the charm and complexity of her choral setting of Twinkle, Twinkle With Attitude, and the seasonal textures in Autumn (in four parts). Plus—hear what kind of climate her music would predict if it were a weather forecast!
Pieces featured on this episode:
Believe (performed by Alyson Fewless)
Prelude in G (solo piano)
Twinkle, Twinkle With Attitude (SATB a cappella)
Autumn (in four parts) (performed by the Lebanon Community Chorus)
