It must be the Christmas season when I totally spaced -- again -- writing a Wednesday post. I have one event firmly crossed off my "list of events I'm playing at this season," though there are still about 9 left before I sit down to brunch on Christmas Day, so I've got the molehill behind me and the mountain ahead. (That is how that metaphor works, isn't it?)
Anyway, here's what creative work I managed to cram in this week:
Music -- I took a break from working on an arrangement of There's a Song in the Air to quickly throw together a twelve-bell arrangement of Away in a Manger for our church Christmas concert. The other title our handbell trio was going to do is being done elsewhere in the concert (violin instead of handbells), so we needed a different title to play. I was just so thankful this week for the blessing of being able to write a piece of music like that when we need it, instead of frantically trying to search around for something at the last minute.
Writing -- Nope. Nothing. Nada. Don't look for anything here until at least after the weekend of the 18th.
Publishing -- I received my complimentary copies of Lead On, O King Eternal from AGEHR, as well as a nice rejection letter from Alfred on a couple of string pieces I sent them. Those pieces will be on their way to look for a new home before I leave for rehearsals this afternoon.
That's about it from here. I think my Wednesday morning is clear, so I'm hopeful I can get up an actual normal blog post ... though if things have gone too crazy and hectic, don't expect one this week, either. Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas season thus far. We'll look for you back here next week.
