More Good News!

Just got my latest PSA results - down again! That's two times in a row, and the drop was by about half. This is exactly what it should be, so I am extremely happy about it.

School is now out for the year, so there is time to breathe again. My next credential class begins next week. It is completely online, so we have the freedom to get out and about without worrying of making it to class.

Camerata had a very successful concert a couple of weeks ago, and I was glad to be able to be part of it again. John, our conductor, was gracious enough to include my newest choral composition, and people really liked it a lot. It is an arrangement of a liturgical version of the Russian "Ave Maria" called "Bogoroditse Devo." I heard it in its liturgical form on a recording of the choir of the convent of St. Elizabeth in Minsk, and fell in love with it. The first verse in my arrangement is simply what I transcribed from the recording, and I build upon that in each successive hearing. Hope you like it.
