Yesterday evening, I handed my piece over to the ensemble and walked them through it and answered any questions they had. It was well received and got some good feedback, even from just a first glance. They are going to start to work on their own parts and then work on it as an ensemble over reading week and I will hear the first reading after reading week.
Now is the exciting time of the year, where I've finished my work and I start to get some feedback from the performers, and I get to hear the works actually performed.
This weekend will be full of opera - Street Scene (UWO Opera) on Friday and then Tapestry New Opera Works in Toronto on Sunday.
I need to get myself organized for Reading Week. I know I want to go to Toronto and Montreal and visit with people, but I need to find out how long I'll be in each place and where I can stay and whatnot.
I slept until 1pm today; it felt great! No big plans for today, and I'm going to ignore school a bit today. I should go out and get my mom something for her birthday coming up. Yes, that will be my plan.

So has does that work? Are you done for the year basically? Or just the first half of the year?
Basically the first half. The course requires 2 pieces, but the first one is much larger. Most likely, the second piece I write won't get played this year, but who knows.
