Work has been going pretty slowly this summer. I'm about a third of the way done orchestrating my new orchestral piece... which still doesn't have a name. I need to think of something cool for it. But, either way, the work is taking longer than I expected it to.
I'm going to end up re-orchestrating Magnum Opus for the forces I end up with in the pit. I'm looking forward to having a different set of colors to work with.
I plan on starting work on my new children's musical commission in early July. That means I have to get the orchestra piece and Magnum Opus done before then. Yikes.
Lately I've been listening to a lot of Andrew Bird. Yes, it's not "classical" music, but I hope anyone would agree with me that he's very interesting and inventive. I don't want to talk about it too much, I think you should just give him a listen:
