named to Who’s Who in the World

 

Roger Hall is a music prreservationist and one the most accomplished authorities on music from America’s past.  After his M.A. degree at Binghamton University in 1972, he began a research study of America’s musical past.

Over the years, he has published music collections, CDs and DVDs on American music topics, including vintage popular songs and singers, film music, classical composers, and music of the Shakers – America’s oldest surviving communal society.  For a sample listing of his publications see this link: http://www.americanmusicpreservation.com/home.htm

Currently, he is Director of the American Music Recordings Archive (AMRA), an extensive  library of recorded music from the Colonial days to the present day.  For his many achievements in music, including producing over 40 CDs and DVDs and his educational projects, he has received the honor of being named to the most respected directory of prominent individuals.  Editorial Director Fred M. Marks wrote this letter to Mr. Hall:

Congratulations! Based on the reference value of your outstanding achievements, Marquis Who’s Who has selected your biographical profile for inclusion in  Who’s Who in the World  2016 (33nd Edition).  It is a testament to your hard work and dedication to success that you have earned a place in Who’s Who in the World. You should be proud of your achievements.

Over the past fifty years, Roger Hall has composed numerous songs and instrumental pieces.  One of his early compositions, "Variations on a Shaker Marching Tune" was composed while he was a graduate student at Binghamton University in 1971 and is included on a new CD album titled, “Celestial Praises.”
