NMF. Holy cow things are working out well with this! It's lasted for two sessions now and still going strong, which is more than I can say for some things. We had to write waltzes in lydian modes for this week and Cynthia Fox came in to play them. They were all FREAKIN' AWESOME. No, really. Elliott's especially caught my attention, I hope he continues with the idea. Kent's was like jazzy Chopin, and, if he fixed some small voicing problems and continued with his original theme, has potential to be as good as Elliotts. Gabe's took a simple idea (I II I II I II iii ivo V vi vii) and made it into something simply incredible. Mine was passable. More harmonic than most of the other pieces, but still nice to listen to. For next week, we have to write a peice using the harmonic overtone sequence of a note (8ve, 5th, 4th, M3rd, m3rd, M2nd, m2nd) without a fixed key signature and using the pedal. We also talked about possibilities for other things we can do and guesswhatguesswhat! That idea that I had for doing Spem in Alium flashmob style? Another member already set something like that up, and all of us share the idea of performance music! So, while we might not do a 15 minute long, 40 part motet, there are still some things we can do in a similar fashion. So yeah, good stuff all around ^^
Flu. It's not even freakin' flu season and I have the freakin' flu. It feels a little like a 24 hour thing, with lingering cough/stuffiness; the fever only lasted for last night and most of this morning. Thank god, I don't want to be still recovering for my recital coughMondaythe25that5:30pmcough, where I shall be performing coughoneofmyownpiecescough songs! Yes. Songs c.c Including a freaking cool choral piece with all of FVS that Dr. Kim will be directing.
Andy. Uh.. well... Lets just hope he doesn't catch the flu either. :o
