I have just been so busy with a final school project that I haven't much time. It's all I can do to simply read and stay on top of that the laswt couple of weeks. I will try to be better at active posting, etc.

Just so you know what I had to do, this final project was huge! It was the final project for orchestration class. We were asked to take a symphony movement of at least 4 minutes in length, make it into a piano reduction, then score it for SATB choir with piano accompaniment, which means we had to come up with text as well. I chose Haydn's Symphony 104. We then had to take a piano piece of at least 4 minutes in length and score it for full orchestra, strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion included. We had three weeks to do all this. To say the least my stress level was at a max. I'm so relieved. The pieces were then recorded by the university's choir and symphony, respectively.

On another good note, after 20 years of wanting one, I finally got a Leslie speaker for my keyboard setup.

I'll be playing for the university's new gospel choir at National Day of Prayer today at noon.

Guess that's enough for now.

If I like the recordings of my pieces, I'll post them.
