Done!
Woo hoo!
After a 3-day wrestling match with Finale, Wild Swans is done! Two whole days before the KUCS Composition Contest deadline. A new record for me!
I'm experiencing some difficulty acquiring a registration form for the composition contest, but I can definitely breathe easier now that the piece is done. No matter what happens with the contest, this is a great accomplishment for me. I wrote this baby in a week (and spent at least twice as much time on Finale as I spent on composing)!
Tomorrow I get a perfectly timed treat: the St. Olaf Choir is on tour performing in Kansas! I wrote about them in a previous post. I'm going to be a veritable exploding tulip of inspiration after that concert! :)
I'm definitely exhausted from writing this piece, but I've got a stack of new ideas to tackle. I'm pumped!
Thanks to Mary Klayder's suggestion, I'm taking my keyboard home with me and to Colorado. I have a cigarette light adapter for a standard plug-in, and I'm going to see if I can use my keyboard in the car. My mom is going to get a kick out of it! I was so worried that I would spend almost a week without a piano until Mary said "Duh, you can do what you want. Just bring your keyboard."
"Duh, you can do what you want." It's almost as good as "it'll be fine."
