One of my projects for hopefully Wednesday is to send out a packet of three or so handbell pieces to a guy from GIA who I met at AGEHR National and seems to have some interest in my music. One of the pieces will be "Balm," another will be an arrangement of the Gregorian "Ave Maria" with a strange chordal structure (which I suspect that Mr. GIA will either love or hate), and the third, unfortunately, will be "The Upper Youghiogheny," toward which I received a "We regret to inform" letter today.
However. I would now like to ditch the name "The Upper Youghiogheny," as I came up with it through purely marketing reasons (as the contest was in the area of the Youghiogheny River) which no longer apply. Therefore, please listen to the song again and give me a better all-purpose title, religous or non- (as the spirit moves you).
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
