Liberty Middle School Advanced Basso Chorus Receives Noteworthy Praise:
On Thursday, December 7th, our Liberty Middle School Chorus had a great concert. Most of the concert is posted on YouTube, and one performance in particular caught the attention of the actual composer of the music, Amy Bernon. On Friday, our Advanced Basso Chorus, which is our 8th grade men’s chorus, received the following email from the composer herself:
“Dear Mr. Case and Advanced Basso Chorus,
Tonight on YouTube, I saw your performance of my piece, Come in from the Firefly Darkness, and I just had to write to you. Bravo! I appreciated your dynamics and crisp enunciation. I was impressed by your confident 3-part harmonies. Good job, soloists!
Thanks to you, Mr. Case, and to your fine accompanist. I hope you all enjoy a well-deserved winter vacation!
Cheers!
Amy Bernon”
