Good morning, all! I slept well, with one long dream about the show MATILDA, which I have no urge to see and God alone knows why I dreamed about that! Earlier, I had an unsettling nightmare; i remember waking around 1:30, alarmed and happy to be awake.
Today, I will head down to Toyland around 9:30 or so, I have a rehearsal with ur leading man, the actress playing his bitch fiancee, and the actor playing the other man. We should be finished around 3:00, and I will head back uptown.
I got this email yesterday from the incinnati Men's Chorus conductor about the choral piece I arranged:
The arrangement sounds FABULOUS!!! The guys just love singing it and the nicest thing is that the voicing is smooth and well-written. You would be amazed and saddened by the lack of quality writing for men's chorus lately; few people know how to write well with good voice-leading and interesting yet not-too-complicated harmonies. We just read it last week and, after working through all three sections, the guys wanted to sing it through AGAIN!
I guess they're happy. I have to get some work on the orchestration this morning. I'd like to post it by Friday.
More coffee!
