I'm not dead...I promise. I've been very slack about finishing the Lincolnshire Posy entries, but I promise they will indeed be finished. This summer has been an interesting time...in between teaching a graduate seminar class, I've been writing a marching band arrangement of the music from "City Slickers" for a band down in Florida, and I've also been writing drill (again, for a school in Florida).
I cut back this year from 8 such productions to only 2, thinking it would afford me more time. It certainly has, unfortunately, another passion of mine reared its beautiful head: The Beautiful Game, aka Association Football, aka "footie," aka "soccer." It's a good thing the World Cup only comes around once every four years, or my summer would be quite unproductive.
Add to this the fact that I participated in the University of Texas' Wind Conducting Symposium, and you can see I've had a pretty busy summer. However, in the next week, I hope to re-start the Lincolnshire series and write a bit about more wind music I've discovered over the past few months.
Until then.....das ist alles!
