End of the semester

12/15/2008

So Fall Semester is over. I've gotten a lot of work done so far this year, but I still have a lot more to do. Magnum Opus is half orchestrated. I have most of my musicians and tech people lined up. The rehearsal schedule is pretty much done. Over the break I need to finish orchestrating, finish finding people I need to find, make parts for the musicians, make rehearsal scores for the singers, make a few full scores, and get spaces for all of the rehearsals.

Also while I'm home I plan to write something new. I don't know what for sure yet, but I just need to write something. I'm thinking of a few ideas... something for clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and piano, perhaps. Or maybe something for chorus. Or for full orchestra. Or maybe I'll start working up some ideas for my new big projects I have in mind. Either way, I want to create a good portfolio for my doctoral program applications.

I've decided that I'm not going for my doctorate right away next year. I need some time off from the academic world- hopefully I'll find a way to make money and still stay connected to the musical world while here in DC.

Well, that's it for today. Time to pack for my flight home!

    Here I'll write about what I'm working on, how it's going, what I'm listening to, or anything that seems to pop into my head.
