Tonight was the Triad dress rehearsal. Of course, I am not sure yet in condition either to sing in, or to conduct the group, so I was there simply to enjoy listening. The Alleluia in A-flat, Op.33 is sounding exquisite, and It Might Happen Today came into delightfully sharp focus at last tonight. I am enormously pleased.

You might say It Did Happen Today.

I can't imagine what that must feel like, I know this sounds like a soppy cliche, but I'm happy that you're happy.

The Triad concerts are tonight and tomorrow night.

And the k a rl h e nn i ng Ensemble concert is Tuesday at lunchtime.

I am thinking about Mistaken for the Sacred, which I originally intended as a wooden percussion solo for Olivia Kieffer
 accompanied by fixed media, and for which I wound up composing wind parts, in which form we have performed the piece twice.

After the reasonable success of this alternate version, I meant to compose out a solo for Liv, but other tasks distracted me.
Somehow it is today that I am considering this article of unfinished business.  I began to wonder if the "solution" is to allow the percussionist free improvisatory rein; and I put this question to Liv (or is this a cop-out on my part?)
And altough she is capable of just improvising (and cooprtative so to do, if that be my wish), her suggestion was that even some kind of structgure/guidance would be a valuable springboard, so shall I soon act upon this capital suggestion.

I would also humbly suggest that guidance from the Maestro would be both judicious and authentic. Best of luck!

A long way to go, yet, but at my therapy appointment yesterday, my therapist and I agreed that the left hand has made good progress in our time together.

We'll get there!
