Dr. Alfred Kunz - May 26, 1929 - January 15, 2019

Eulogy written by Dr. Michael W. Higgins

It was his earliest and most long lasting love.
Yet he never met him.
I suspect that they have by now.  Around a table at the Tomas Kircke, Leipzig, 
the disciple Herr Dr. Alfred Kunz chatting away with Herr Kapelmeister Johan Sebastian Bach.
What a chat that would be.
Alfred saw in Bach what he most aspired to as a musician, both as a composer and as a choir director: 
love of symmetry, sublime melodies, a choral architecture of exquisite complexity, a portal into the divine.
When he approximated the Bach formula he was most himself; 
he saw in such comprehensive genius a gateway to his more modest accomplishments.  Bach was simply his Master.

But emulating the B would only bring him so far.  He also had to find his own voice, his own signature.
His score of decades feeding his love of music into the hearts and imaginations
of the citizens of KW took him far afield leaving Bach behind but never eclipsed.  
The Master would summon occasionally and remained his abiding avatar.
Like JSB Kunz needed to make a living, serve myriad audiences, craft arrangements, 
build mosaics of known medleys for popular consumption, find time to compose his own work that could range from 
the sweetly melodic to the torturously atonal.  And doing this while managing several contemporary choirs, 
negotiating contracts, teaching private students, having periodic tantrums, and struggling to assert his way in the face of 
formidable opposition.

His music was often as dramatic as his life.
But the special genius of Alfred's work is not to be found in it's staggering productivity, 
it's eclecticism, it's sometimes stunning oscillation  between the easily accessible and the monstrously Sisyphean, 
but in the motivating spirit, the unalterable conviction, that defined his
creed: music is our entry into the divine, our participation in the cosmic dance of the Creator and therefore no one, 
no one, should be deprived of its vivifying powers.

Alfred was a populizer not an elitist; he wanted to bring music to the people not make it the property of the salon or chamber; 
you didn't need to read music; you simply needed to love it.
He deplored music snobbery-whereas I didn't-and we had a few fights where I easily defeated him with the words 
but he won always with the chords. Our mutual affection was real because I took his artistry seriously, 
I recognized within the narrow constraints of my own music education, that he was a creative not formulaic composer, 
an arranger with an eye to maximizing entertainment, a perfectionist compelled to make too many compromises. 
But his primary audience would remain the unprofessional folk yearning to sing but intimidated; 
he would liberate them; their voices soared from the Nith to the Grand.
And even on the Tiber and the Rhine.
And my God did he succeed.

He tried his hand at numerous musical genres-country, folk, American spiritual, carols, canticles, motets, 
a piano concerto ably paid by his longtime accompanist Krystyna Higgins, sonatas, academic processions, anthems, 
interactive canvases of sound, sight, and performance.
And he loved his audiences; they were his co-participants in making music; together they would celebrate 
what it means to be community, because that is what choral music in particular does: 
provides an antidote to the atomizing of our society.
Alfred knew that in his bones.  Music was his mission of repairing the torn fabric of society.  Bold, ambitious, tenacious.

I will remember my friend as a genuine quester,  curious and explorative.
He could be tempestuous and stubborn but he relished ideas.  When the very few occasions we had private time together 
he wanted to talk about the latest issue of the New Yorker, a magazine his daughter had perceptively subscribed for him.  
He especially treasured the commentaries by music critic Alex Ross.  It was lifeblood.

He was a big man, a big personality, who had more than a few detractors.
But he had many more admirers and their number will grow as people discover his music.  And they will.

Well, maestro, time for me to go.  I have disturbed your conversation with Bach for two long.
One quick query though before I go:  you are not trying your horrible jokes on him I hope?
Oh well, lots of time to improve in eternity.

God speed, old friend.

Rest in Peace

In the words of Dr. Michael W. Higgins,

Maestro Kunz, Herr Dr. Kunz, Alfred, The Music Man. Admittedly, Alfred Kunz is neither Robert Preston nor Matthew Broderick, but he is no less the Music Man. Arguably, much more so. His life is a life lived in and for music.

Tonight's farewell concert cum tribute is a way of entering - our way of entering - the imaginative legacy of a composer, choral conductor, arranger, and music coach whose contribution to Canadian choral music is now firmly established - Wilfrid Laurier University's Faculty of Music will house the archives - and whose contribution to the KW area, including bustling Luxembourg of course, is now storied.

Kunz Compositions performed:
- Wonder of Wonders
- Invention No. III - The Journey
- Amazing Grace
- Busy Fiddles
- Three James Joyce Songs
- Shall I Compare Thee

Closing words by Dr. Michael Higgins:

From Neudorf, Saskatchewan to Toronto, to Kitchener Waterloo, to Hamilton, to Mainz, Darmstadt, Bilthoven, to Sylt - and then back to Kitchener Waterloo, over 60 years of musical service to the community - spiced with royal openings, inauguarations, installations, concerts big and small, music performed nationally and internationally. Quite the Record. In a word or two: worth remembering.

"Remember my words, remember my voice,
Remember my thoughts, remember my choice.
Remember by touch, remember my goal,
Remember my dream, and remember my soul."

- Conductor of the Forest Heights Community Association Mixed Choir

- May 4, 2015, Interviewed by CKWR Radio on Midday with RJ
- May 14, 2015 - Kitchener Citizen article written by Carrie Debrone Choral director, composer celebrates over 50 years of leadership with local choirs. Leaning back from his computer screen that patiently displays the glow of a musical score in mid creation, composer and musician Alfred Kunz glides both hands through his gray hair. After 35 years at the artistic helm of the Millennium Choral Organization, Kunz is retiring.
- May 15, 2015 - The Record article by Martin DeGroot Torn between many great artistic events. The Saturday option for "Eroica" remained open until I received a reminder about an event that has been on my radar since a call for participation started going out late last fall: Alfred Kunz's farewell concert as a choral conductor after 60 years of service to our community. "A Gift of Music — The Journey" will take place at Bingemans Ballroom on Saturday, May 23, starting at 7:30 p.m. Accepting Kunz's "Gift of Music" and honouring his work in our community over the years seems like a must. 
- May 15, 2015, Baden Outlook article by Barry Fisher A Celebration of a Lifetime of Music - Meet Alfred Kunz. 'To create and direct music was a special gift given to me by the Creator and it has been a privilege and my duty to share it with singers, musicians, and the audience.' There are many talented people who live in Wilmot Township that should be recognized for their abilities. Whether it be sports, literature, music, or other standards - Alfred Kunz is one of those who are leaders in their crowd!
- May 19, 2015 - Waterloo Chronicle Article by Bob Vrbanac, Ending on the right note -Local choir king Alfred Kunz said he isn’t ready to retire — he’s too busy to do that. He’s still composing, even though he’s less than a week away from his 86th birthday on May 26, and he’s already been asked to be a guest conductor at a number of upcoming shows. No, instead the farewell concert, called A Gift of Music: The Journey, May 23 at Bingemans Ballroom, is really a retrospective of the career of the local musical legend who will be stepping down from full-time conducting of the Nith Valley Singers and the Music Alive program.

- May 21, 2015 - The Record article by Valerie Hill, Choral conductor hangs up his baton after a six decade career (also printed in the Waterloo Chronicle). Alfred Kunz, sits comfortably on the expansive front porch of the two-storey home outside New Hamburg he shares with his wife Dana Kunz, a place the couple are about to leave for an apartment in the city. This will be a difficult adjustment for the conductor who is retiring from leading choirs — as well as leaving behind the peacefulness of this porch, the trees and fields, the birds and a garden ripe with springtime lushness. But in life all things must change and at nearly 86 — his birthday is May 26 — it's time.
- June 11, 2015, Kitchener Citizen article by Helen Hall Alfred Kunz finds a new - more relaxed - musical calling. Choir director Alfred Kunz’s retirement didn’t last long. The well-known director and composer announced his retirement after over 60 years of conducting in May, and by June he had new job. Kunz will lead a mixed adult community choir being organized by the Forest Heights Community Association this fall.

Mama’s Old Songbook will feature many well-loved tunes and audience members are encouraged to dress comfortably country, then be ready to sing along with the combined choir and five other musicians.

Tenor Delight will feature a rousing rendition of the beautiful Leonard Cohen song, Hallelujah and that sweet marching tune The Happy Wanderer.

October 15, 2010- Monday night is Alfred Kunz’s night to remember, The Record article by Valerie Hill
After decades of directing choirs and writing choral music, Alfred Kunz will be relegated to an audience seat on Monday night, his conductor’s baton kept well out of reach and with no inkling of what he is about to hear.
What the audience will hear is a retrospective of some of the many choral works Kunz has composed over several decades, though he has not been allowed to partake in the planning, not even an advance glimpse into the program. Concert entitled Note by Note - The Music of Alfred Kunz
- "On Monday, October 18th, 2010 a concert entitled Note by Note was given to honour Alfred Kunz and his music at Benton Street Baptist Church in Kitchener, Ontario.
