Random updates…

  • I’m happy to report that the first draft of Appendix 1 is complete. It is nearly 70 pages of Finale work and I’m so glad to have it done so that I can get down to the business of actually writing about the music instead of typesetting it! Now on to Chapter 2, which is a discussion of the scores in terms of Lopes-Graça’s writings, and in the context of other composers, etc. The presentation in Portugal in April serves as a nice sub-deadline, but it feels very close at the moment…
  • Last night I was inducted into the UGA chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda, which was a fun banquet and a nice honor.
  • I’m putting the final touches on my Brahms paper for presentation this Thursday.
  • Rehearsals for my April 11 composition recital are coming along well. I met with the vocal quintet tonight and had a very productive session.
  • Next week will be somewhat insane: Monday night is the dress-rehearsal for our Tuesday night Concert Choir concert and Thursday night and Saturday morning are dress rehearsals for our Saturday night Beethoven 9 performance… and then we begin to rehearse in earnest for Belshazzer’s Feast on April 20.
