Make Up Your Mind

Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, CA. These things were everywhere. Every post had a different combination of "no parking" days. We asked a cop where we could park; she said, "Just read the signs."

Your tax dollars at work.

Another one finished!

Wed Nov 11, 2009, 8:34 PM
I almost said "another one bites the dust," but I don't want to say THAT until all the musicians have looked at it. Don't want to invite the lightnings to strike...

Anyway, just finished a new Advent IV anthem, for mezzo, handbells and organ.

Tomorrow, rehearsal with said handbells--we'll see how clever my "clever idea" to add handbells is going to prove to be. Tomorrow's gonna take up too much time for writing of music, so that'll wait until Friday, but then I gotta crank on the Anouilh score. I'm hoping to dredge up something that I wrote for another show a few years ago, using a now-obsolete of-course-we-don't-import-those-files-directly version of my sequencing software (mutter, swear) but hope springs eternal for its easy resurrection.

And if I have to reverse-engineer my own music from the recordings... well, that's just poetic justice, now, isn't it?

Check out my You Tube channel. [link] I have faved a LOT of baroque, classical and romantic organ pieces. You will first encounter some strange hip-hop videos when you first visit. Just ignore those... unless you like "Outcast". LOL!

Have you ever heard of Camerin Carpenter? He is a vertuoso organist and I DA keeps screwing up the url when I try to post it. Just go to You Tube and search "Camerin Carpenter". Then click on his video entitled "Revolutionsetüde, op.10". This guy's pedalpoint is amazing!
