Busy day! Aside from the normal humdrum weekend stuff (laundry, dishes, etc), I got a lot of composing done today:
First, I have a draft of my round 2 of the Inspiration Ring ready to send to Heather- a few more tweaks when I look at it again with fresh eyes and ears, and then I'll send it.
Then, I cleaned up the 365: Summer movement. I actually like it more as a whole than I did toward the beginning of the project. Since it's Autumn now, I've also started the first few measures of the Autumn movement. I changed my mind about keeping each movement in 4/4, quarter=80. Autumn is 3/4, quarter=70. It seems more autumnal to me. I really like where this is going so far.
After that, I tackled Love is Not the Last Room some more. I now have another mezzo song done. That means I have 6 out of the 18 songs done. To be fair, this one went really quickly. I sort of recycled some old material from a piece for a class. The original piece had lyrics that were under copyright, so I could only use it one time for educational purposes. Since I liked it and it could never be heard again, why not recycle the music? It fits the new piece perfectly.
Of the remaining 12 songs in LiNtLR, 5 are interludes/the introduction, so they should all go pretty quickly. So really, only 7 full songs left to write: I'm just about halfway done!
