Notes from the Editor:
This weekend for me will include watching a lot of tennis, napping, swimming, and reading. And maybe watching a rocket launch. At this moment, Artemis is scheduled to lift off within a 2:17-4:17 p.m. window Sept. 3.
Plans do not include housework or yard work, but we all know about the best-laid plans of mice and men, don't we?
Enjoy the holiday weekend! And make it a safe one, please.

Angela Moretti's Handmade Reeds | |
|
Bassoonist Angela Moretti, formerly of Vero Beach, was sure a musician could be a musician anywhere in the world. She had been “toying with the idea” of becoming a musician in the United States Army for years before she signed on at 27. It satisfied two of her goals, she said: “I wanted a more ‘stable’ music career and I wanted to travel.”
Moretti’s time in the Army band was memorable. She attended the Army School of Music in Virginia Beach before being stationed in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, for a year. “Being an Army musician in South Korea was one of the most life-changing experiences I’ve ever had. The Korean people really value arts and culture and it seems like there was a different festival or celebration almost every week somewhere.”
The band traveled all over the country, building relationships with the public and “even presenting in schools!” There were solemn, unforgettable occasions, too. “My very first Army ceremony ever was in 2019, I believe, when North Korea released the remains of over 50 soldiers to NATO to be identified and repatriated to their home countries. The band was there to play taps and ceremonial music as the caskets were transferred for their flights home. I was so proud to be part of that ceremony and being able to participate in paying respects to all of those people for their sacrifice. The role of the Army band over there is truly unique and meaningful.”
| |
Moretti, who can double on sax, grew up in Vero Beach, attended Glendale Elementary, Gifford Middle School, and a dual registration at Vero Beach High School and Indian River State College for her high school senior year. She also studied at Florida State University and the University of Central Florida. Moretti said she owes much to her teachers here. “Wayne Bresette and Randy Doo were my first two bassoon teachers in Vero, and Monty Musgrave was my first band director! Dr. John Southall really inspired me my senior year of high school and he’s the reason I wanted to become an educator. They really formed the foundation of my musical education.” In Florida, she played with the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra, the Vero Beach Chamber Orchestra, the Florida Metropolitan Orchestra, the Alterity.co Chamber/Experimental Orchestra, and many others.
| |
Now a performer and educator in the greater San Antonio area, Moretti splits her time “between holding positions in several area orchestras and chamber ensembles as well as managing a private studio of over 20 young bassoonists.” In Texas, she has played with the Symphony of the Hills, SA Harmonie, the South Texas Symphonic Orchestra, and The Heart of Texas Concert Band. She is the Adjunct Lecturer of Bassoon at Texas Lutheran University.
| |
|
Moretti will soon roll out a new website and Facebook page for her business, Laughing Crow Reed Co. She described the sound that comes from a bassoon: “The bassoon’s sound is deep and rich, and could be compared to a cello or a male voice. It’s the lowest sounding woodwind instrument and we make up the foundation of the woodwind section in an orchestra. We are often used to add color to musical lines, and the bassoon also has the ability to sound comical and light.”
The reed is a very necessary component of the instrument, Moretti explained. “The reed is made up of two parallel pieces of thin cane that are able to vibrate freely when the bassoonist blows into it. The sound that the reed makes by itself is called the ‘crow.’ When that oscillating air is then blown through the instrument, it creates the sound. If you were to blow into a bassoon bocal (the long silver tube that attaches to the reed) with no reed attached it would be exactly like blowing air through a straw- nothing would happen!”
| |
Moretti makes and sells bassoon reeds to musicians around the country, but hers are not your grandmother’s reeds. “I use various techniques to make the reeds glow, change color according to temperature, and sparkle. My first teacher, Randy Doo, showed me how to do epoxy and he would often make his reeds different colors by using permanent marker under the clear epoxy. I took that idea and began experimenting with it, adding dyes, glitter, and even things that didn’t work, like feathers and tiny pieces of crystal.” At FSU, her instructor, Jeff Keesecker, continued that part of her creativity.
Reed making is a craft that varies from artist to artist, Moretti said. There are basic principles to follow. Usually, the reed is thicker toward the back and thinner at the front to facilitate vibrations but there are other factors to be considered: “the instrument itself, the type of sound they’re going for, what they’re playing (soloist vs section bassoon), etc. Reed styles change drastically depending on which country the player is in, too!” And then there are individual preferences: “the brand of cane to use, measurements, shapes of the reed, the length, etc. It’s really quite fascinating!”
| |
A bassoon reed, if taken care of and rotated properly, can last a month or two, Moretti said. “Ideally, players should have a lineup of reeds that they rotate through each day so the same reed isn’t played on too often.” Moretti’s reeds are available in her creative form or plain, for musicians who want to decorate their own. Get more information on her Facebook page while waiting for the website launch.

In Memoriam - Stuart Woods |  | |
From Penguin Random House:
Stuart Woods, # 1 New York Times-bestselling author of more than ninety novels, including more than 75 books featuring his larger-than-life detective-turned-lawyer-investigator Stone Barrington, died peacefully in his sleep at his Connecticut home on Friday, July 22. He was 84.
He had an outsized personality, craved adventure, and gloried in the thrill of life. He spent time each year at his additional homes in Santa Fe, Key West, and Mount Desert Island, Maine.
His 1981 fiction debut Chiefs, a classic American mystery saga about three generations of lawmen tangled in a web of passion, secrets, destiny, and murder in their small Southern town, established Woods as a novelist. He has since been prolific, having published over ninety novels and writing five books a year for G.P. Putnam’s Sons. His memoir, An Extravagant Life, was published in June 2022. Putnam will publish Black Dog, the 62nd book in Stone Barrington series on August 2 and Distant Thunder, the 63rdbook in the series on October 11, 2022.

21 Years and Counting
From the Treasure Coast Chorale:
The Board of Directors and Music Director Dr. Michael Carter have announced that a full three-concert schedule is ready for the 2022-2023 season. This music group, now into its 21st year in Vero Beach, had been in hiatus for two years, returning to First Baptist Church in Vero Beach last spring. The first rehearsal has been called for Monday, September 12 at 7 p.m. No audition is required to join the chorale but Dr. Carter will work with each new singer to determine where they fit into the four-part harmony traditional to our selections.
Treasure Coast Chorale specializes in themed concerts. This year's Memorial Day performance was "God Bless America" featuring patriotic songs, a salute to the armed forces, the Festival Brass Quartet, and "The Dolls" singing "Boogie, Woogie Bugle Boy" in the style of the Andrews sisters.
In April, 2022, the selections were inspirational: You'll Never Walk Alone, You Raise Me Up, and You've Got A Friend. Other popular concerts included Let Music Live and Goin Home in 2019, celebrating Vero's 100th Anniversary, and When You Wish Upon A Star with soloist Jon Bell, Director of the Hallstrom Planeterium in 2018. Irish music and songs from Disney movies have also found a place in our repertoire over the years. This group of music lovers also forms the core of the annual performance in Vero of Handel's Messiah held just before Christmas for over 50 years and open to all interested local singers.
Coming in 2022-23:
Nov. 6 - "Let's Dance" - the chorale's songs will be accompanied by professional dancers
March 12 - "Food, Glorious Food" - chorale members will sing about food and perhaps enjoy eating with the audience
May 7 - "All That Jazz" with some of our local and professional jazz groups as guests.
There is an annual fee of $60 and women must purchase a special costume. Our men look very elegant in their tuxedos.
All concerts are held at the First Baptist Church, 2206 16th Avenue, Vero Beach at 4 p.m. in the afternoon. Doors will open at 3 p.m. for early seating and all concerts are free with no tickets required. A donation will be requested during the concert.
Anyone who has some experience with choral or choir singing and enjoys the style of music that we offer is welcome to come to a rehearsal on Monday, September 12 at 7 pm at First Baptist Church. Please call Dr. Michael Carter at 772-567-4341 or Sally at 772-231-3498 for directions and informational detail as to the meeting place. We are looking forward to a spectacular year and hope that many of you will join us!

Jazz Vespers: A Contemporary Riff on an Ancient Prayer Service.
From Community Church of Vero Beach:
The Community Church of Vero Beach is excited for the return of Jazz Vespers on Sunday, September 18 at 6:00 p.m. in the Courtyard. (Weather Location: Community Hall) 1901 23rd Street, Vero Beach.
Jazz Vespers began in New York City in the 1960s as a concept worship service and outreach ministry. It was designed as a service of prayer and jazz for folks who couldn't make it to Sunday morning services after playing late night gigs on Saturday night.
In this tradition, our jazz vespers service is an eclectic mix of prayer, spoken verse, ambient art, and live jazz. Through these elements, we walk through an ancient service of prayer (vespers) in a creative, informal, and multisensory way.
Jazz Vespers is a once monthly service with music provided by our resident jazz combo: Andrew Galuska on piano, vocalist Leti Metcalfe, Brian Slawson on drums and Gary Haase playing upright bass.
September 18 Vespers will welcome Rachel Carter Murphy as vocalist and feature Rev. David W. Johnson, Executive Minister of The Community Church of Vero Beach.
