Perhaps, and I'm hoping it may pass in December's course.

Yes, hopefully it will pass. Remember that Stravinsky had many creative crises through his career. The last one he had almost made him stop completely until he found inspiration in serialism.

You're right, of course. Thanks.

Fun! Did you base yours off of a church hymn version or did you harmonize the carol yourself? Or was it a matter of adding a flute obbligato to your (and your teen flautist's) satisfaction?
We have been rehearsing an arrangement of Coventry by Tim Stevenson; the strings/organ turn bitonal, built upon planing stacked quartals, when the angry Herod verse starts. It has been interesting, but a lovely, haunting carol.

Really, all I did was add a couple of flute apostrophes to the traditional carol, and have the flute reinforce some of the choral parts. The Stevenson sounds very nice!
