Boring music update. (As in the update is boring; not so much the music, I hope.)
Since moM asked me yesterday how the whole composing thing is going, and since Kim was surprised when I told her just how many pieces I had currently under review by publishers (and perhaps rightfully so), here's where I am today:
Pieces that are published and in print: 3 Pieces that are published and out-of-print: 2 Pieces that have been accepted for publication but aren't yet published: 8 Pieces that are self-published through SMP: 5 Pieces that are under review by publishers: 27 Pieces that are ready to be sent to publishers or contests but for various reasons I'm holding onto for the time being: 5
For those not wishing to do the math themselves, that's a grand total of 50 -- and that's not including a bunch of little things I did while I was a handbell director, and the two dozen pieces I have partially finished (ranging in completion from four measures to two-thirds of a piece). So that's not so bad.
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.
