===Religion===
Brubeck became a Catholic in 1980, shortly after completing the Mass ''To Hope'', which had been commissioned by Ed Murray, editor of the national Catholic weekly ''[[Our Sunday Visitor]]''. Although he had spiritual interests before that time, he said, "I didn't convert to Catholicism, because I wasn't anything to convert from. I just joined the Catholic Church."<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/brubeck/theMusic/brubeckRediscovers.htm Rediscovering Dave Brubeck], PBS.</ref>
