Columbia Flute Choir
"Music from the Turn of the Century... The 21st Century!"

We are very proud to release our first commercial CD. It features music by two of our resident composers, Melvin Lauf, Jr. and Alexandra Molnar-Suhajda. We are grateful to have these two gifted composers among us. Thanks to Nourse Wind Publications and FLUTE.NET Publications for granting us permission to record the works. Thanks go to David Hilliard for recording our live concert, parts of which are on this CD. Thanks to Kevin Vigil for engineering our studio recordings and for mastering the final cut. Thanks go to David Juntilla for the Columbia Flute Choir logo. Thanks to Pam Brooks and the Connection Newspapers for the use of the photo on the inside cover. Thanks go to Steve Tung for helping with the technical aspects of preparing the CD and artwork for commercial production. A big thank you goes to the Columbia Baptist Church for the use of their facility and for the support of the many church members and other fans who attend our performances. This project would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of all the Columbia Flute Choir members. The members thank Sharyn Byer for founding the choir in 1994, bringing the group to the level it is today, and leading this CD project to completion.
