Music for a While November 19, 2015


In September, my energetic music teacher Trevor initiated an informal weekly session on composition, and my buddy Julie signed up for it.  Somehow, despite my taking three other classes, I got swept up into the fun, too.  Julie has now completed a lengthy theme and variations for piano, while I am still struggling with a few incredibly short vocal pieces, including, believe it or not, a Yogi Berra song cycle.  Actually, they are not horrible, but the process of working out the details on staff paper…well, tedious is the word.  Our works are going to be performed in two weeks!  As Yogi said, “When you see the fork in the road, take it.”  This was certainly a fork I did not see coming.
