Now You See It

Now on the Beckenhorst Press site, you can see a PDF file of the covers of the three new pieces, as well as the first couple of pages. I love the way Beckenhorst always makes the covers look so nice. I know it's the music inside that counts, but for me, at least, it's the cover that really sets a piece apart and screams "published" to the world -- I know I'd never take the time to make a cover for a piece I'd written for my choir to play at church.

Also heard from John Behnke at AGEHR today about The First Noel which I've submitted to them. I suppose this falls under the category of "good news" -- he wanted to let me know it'll take more time than they usually take, and to check if that was all right with me. He said I'd probably know something by the middle of June. I'll consider this good news since he could have said outright, "No, thanks." Sometimes no news really is good news.

It's a beautiful evening here in Indianapolis -- the sun is shining, the windows are open, and my two Feline Creative Consultants are as happy as two cats can possibly be when they're not chowing down on something plentiful, smelly, and squarely in the fish family. It's a wonderful evening to relax, watch a bit of television, and perhaps start planning for InMuWriJu -- Indiana Music Writing June ... I'll explain this one later as it probably needs a whole post to itself.
