<p>Earlier this month, the hymn We Are Enough, a work by lyricist Beverly Feldt and music by Angela Salvaggione, won 3rd place at the UUMN (now AUUMM) Vincent B. Silliman Hymn Competition. From among nearly 200 entries, We Are Enough was among twelve excellent finalists. These final twelve hymns were then sung and voted on by UUMN members on August 4, 2018, and was awarded third place. </p>

<p>Hidden Lake, for bassoon and piano, is now available through the Imagine Music website <a href="http://stores.imaginemusicpublishing.com/hidden-lake/" target="_blank" data-imported="1">here</a>. This lyrical, early elementary piece, works on several musical concepts:</p>
<ul>
<li>6/8 time</li>
<li>long lines</li>
<li>uniformity in raising and placing fingers</li>
<li>using both Bb and B-natural</li>
</ul>
<p>Its limited range (bottom line G to fourth line F) give students the opportunity to focus on dexterity and musical line without worrying about complicated fingerings.</p>

It is a bassoon solo with piano accompaniment written for elementary students. Technical issues addressed are basic flicking, and slurring up to top-space G. Range from bottom-line G to Eb above the staff. ca. 2:30.</p>

<p>I now have my studio set up to allow for videophone lessons. If this is a vital consideration for you due to travel issues, whether it's because you're far away or because you have to be in twelve directions at once, or due to inclement weather, I'm happy to discuss with you the possibility of teaching lessons via videophone.
Lessons by videophone will be available at the beginning of my school year, which is August 30, 2010.</p>

<p>On April 12, 2008, St. Mary Immaculate Parish in Plainfield celebrated their 100th anniversary. At their request, I composed a piece to help celebrate the occasion, "Sing Your Praise to God." The choir, under the direction of Cherie Perine and accompanied by Janet Kirer, did a fantastic job on this difficult piece of music. Congratulations to all who participated to help make the day special and memorable for all in attendance!</p>
