After The Dave Brubeck Quartet disbanded in 1967, Brubeck focused on writing many religious compositions. In an interview last year, Brubeck said his harrowing experiences as a soldier in World War II\u2019s Battle of the Bulge convinced him to also write religious-themed music.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw and experienced so much violence that I thought I could express my outrage best with music,\u201d he said. \u201cIt takes a situation like the Bulge to make you really think about what God was trying to tell us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brubeck has said in interviews that he joined the Roman Catholic Church after writing the Mass \u201cTo Hope! A Celebration\u201d in 1979. A priest who heard it asked him why he left out \u201cOur Father.\u201d Brubeck said he wasn\u2019t told to include it, so he didn\u2019t add the prayer to the piece.<\/p>\n

But he went on vacation with his family and on the second night he dreamed the \u201cOur Father\u201d prayer, and decided to add it to the Mass. After that, he converted to Catholicism.<\/p>\n

\u201cI joined the Catholic Church, because I felt, somebody\u2019s trying to tell me something,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
