Sorry, loyal readers.
I'm working on some really awesome projects, which is why I've been too busy to post.
The ArtSongLab I'm co-coördinating is shaping up to be a delightfully exciting week of events! We have participants coming from all over the country to participate, including some friends I haven't seen in a long time.
I'm in the process of finishing up my chamber piece called "Faces in a Crowd" and I'm getting more and more into the piece as I go, which is quite exciting. It's giving me a real sense that I'm doing the right thing. When you get this involved in a piece you're writing, it's like a passionate relationship that you know is about to end; you know you need to get as much lovin' out of it before it's over, haha!
My opera scenes are due early-to-mid May, so that's a big project and I'm excited to devote all of my attention to it once I get some other stuff out of the way, like:
-making sure I have a strong orchestral sketch to submit for my composition portfolio
-my art song submission for the ArtSongLab
-a term paper comparing a Bach Invention to Breton folk music
Since I have so much to keep me occupied, of course I've picked up knitting a little bit...
There are always reasons to knit teddy bears, so I'm making sure to get some work done in that department!
