Randy Rivera received his Master of Anesthesia from Case Western
Reserve University and has been a successful anesthetist at Cleveland
Metro hospital. He started his musical studies at the Cleveland
Institute of Music with Professor Marshall Griffith. He continued his
studies of music composition and orchestration with Professor Loris
Chobanian at Baldwin Wallace University.<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457150545000_3961" style="color:black;"> Dr Chobanian has remarked: “The fact that Randy Rivera is a successful anesthetist makes his compositions truly remarkable.</span> <span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457150545000_3960" style="color:black;">It
is significant when a composer of successful compositions is also
accomplished in a totally different profession”. The two Rivera
compositions were originally conceived as songs with lyrics for voice
and piano. They were later orchestrated for symphony orchestra. The
Spanish text “En Un Momento’ depicts the moment one encounters an object
of love for the first time. The second composition with English text
“With Your Voice” is more spiritual and religious in nature. It
acknowledges Devine protection and help to those who are needy. Randy
Rivera is often in contact with Christian Missionaries who share their
Voice of Hope in distant lands. The Chobanian Armenian Lullaby is based
on a melody well known to Armenian families and a favorite with Armenian
mothers.</span></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457150545000_4269" class="yiv7571440384MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><span style="font-size:14.0pt;">The orchestra, in its 4</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D;">7</span><sup><span style="font-size:14.0pt;">th</span></sup><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457150545000_3956" style="font-size:14.0pt;">
