Piano Recital

Winger played "Aardvark Boogie" and "The Dragon Hunt" from Faber Book 2B.
Dorito loves "Humoresque" by Faber and "Minuet in G" by Bach (which he also knows on the violin). He was a little nervous because he had to play very first of all 17 students.
Polar Bear played "Snake Charmer" and "Dance of the Irish" and now graduates to Faber Book 3A.
Meggar played sweetly the "Sonata in D Minor" by Cimarosa and nailed "L'Orage" (The Storm!) - by Burgmuller. She has definitely exceeded her mother's abilities, but Grandma Elizabeth recalls Great-Grandma Olga playing "The Storm," and she was an excellent pianist. So was our Maternal Great-Grandma Freda, who played the piano and organ especially during family gatherings.

The Pope has referred to the "spiritual value of musical art -- called in a particular way to instill hope in the human spirit wounded by the earthly experience. ...There is a kinship between music and hope, between song and eternal life, and for this reason, the Christian tradition represents the souls of the blessed in a choir."
