Well friends of the four that there were…. I advanced and took third! Congrats to Saunder Choi for taking first and Ed Frazier Davis on taking second!  Also, congrats to Daniel Elder on second (professional). Thank you to anyone who has influenced me in my musical journey, Dr. Wickman, Mr. Wanner, Dr. Schwartzhoff, and all other composers who have taught me as well. Also thank you to the singers of the UW- Eau Claire Concert Choir for making such a beautiful recording. Last, thank to my parents , Jody and Mike Moore for being extremely supportive of my dreams.  

Among the judge’s comments… “a lyrical setting of the 121st Psalm that shows great sensitivity to its textual meaning.
