Anthony Giamanco was  born  in  Detroit, Michigan,  and  has  been a professional  musician  since the 

age of 17. He attended Eastern Michigan University, where his musical studies included voice, piano, 

organ and composition. 

His compositions appear in the catalogs GIA, Augsburg Fortress, Lorenz, Alfred Music, The Leupold 

Foundation, and Paraclete Press, among others, and include works for choir, piano, organ, handbells, 

solo voice, and chamber ensembles. To date, he has published over 350 works. 

A musical collaboration with hymn writer Adam M. L. Tice resulted in their hymn “God Bestows on 

Every  Sense”  being  included  in  All  Creation  Sings (Augsburg  Fortress  2020),  a  liturgy  and  song  

supplement to Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

Anthony’s choral arrangement of “Love Comes Trick-a-lin’ Down” has been a popular item in GIA’s 

catalog.  JW  Pepper  has  earmarked  several  of  his  compositions  with  the  Editors’  Choice label,  

including “God Bestows on Every Sense,” “Winter,” and “Be Joyful, Mary, Heavenly Queen,” as well 

as a collection of organ and piano duets, From Lent to Ascension.

Tony is a writer member of ASCAP, and a member of the American Guild of Organists (AGO). His
