So, as I said yesterday, the Yale Glee Club composition contest had about 70 entrants, so I was expecting that to be a pretty typical number for choral composition contests. This morning I learned that I did not win the Meistersingers contest, and I also learned that they had 171 submissions. I mean really. This large number bothers me just a bit, and I'm considering if I may have been thrown completely off-course by the less-than-30 entries in the Bells of the Sound Composition Contest I won. Specifically, I'm wondering if instrumental composing generally has less competition, and thus I'm wondering if I should direct my focus largely into that instead of choral.
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.
