Saturday Summary, March 5, 2011

Every Saturday, The Creative will feature a brief post about my current creative efforts and how they are progressing. If this doesn't interest you, read no further -- not only will I not be offended, I'll never know. The usual creativity-centric posts will return on Sunday.

All it all, it was a good creative week. I didn't have as much time as I would have liked, but things still got done nonetheless. Here's a brief recap:

Music -- I finished a short project I'd been working on, one which I'll be able to talk about in a few weeks.  Nonetheless, I'm going to count it as one of my handbell pieces finished for the year.  That puts my current count at the following:

  • Handbell pieces -- 20  17
  • Piano pieces -- 20  17
  • Choral pieces -10
  • String pieces -- 4
  • Band pieces -- 2
  • Other instrumental pieces -- 4
  • GRAND TOTAL FOR 2011 -- 60  54
I know I'm behind for the year, but my life gets drastically less hectic starting next week, so I'm assuming (hoping, praying) things will pick up.

Writing -- Actually, I'm not sure I did anything on my writing this week.  My stories have been a bit more in the forefront of my mind than usual, but I'm not sure I actually put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard. 

Publishing -- I've gone over the proofs of Come, Christians, Join to Sing and O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing, and will be getting corrections back to the appropriate publishers soon.  I also saw where Lorenz has the sound file up for my forthcoming Faith, Hope, and Love.  I'll get that audio (and a couple of other bits of audio) up on the site soon.


That's about it from here.  While there wasn't a whole lot done on the creative side of things, I do have other big musical news: details are now finalized for the Raleigh Ringers concert in Indianapolis!  I'll be shamelessly promoting the concert here on The Creative for the next several months, but for any interested in attending, the concert will be Monday, June 20 at 7:30 PM at the Warren Performing Arts Center.  You can get all the details by visiting rrindy.com.  Be sure to share the website with anyone you think would be interested in attending -- the more, the merrier!

Until next time, keep creating, and have a great weekend.
