My composition recital check is days away and I just came from a great rehearsal with my soloist, orchestra and choir. In spite of all my measly worries as the composer, the people in my recital have come together and have begun to really make music together. I am exited about the possibilities for improvement over the next month as we move towards the recital date. But the first hump needs to be crossed on Saturday.
Dr. Forrest was very encouraging and hopeful after the rehearsal this evening. In spite of my short comings as a conductor, the music is really coming together. I am grateful to all the wonderful people who have so graciously given of their time to perform for me. Conducting aside, I don’t feel like I’m doing that much, they are the music.
