Just heard from my good friend Michiel Schuijer, professor of music theory at the Conservatory of Amsterdam - a female student of his, Uzbek composer Polina Medyulyanova (http://www.composers21.com/compdocs/medyulyp.htm), seems to be preparing her Ph.D. ('seems', because things might still change). The subject: contemporary settings of St. John's Passion. Michiel has suggested she should also take into account Karl's setting and has given her his email address.

I hope she'll be in touch, Karl!

Thanks, Cato & Johan!

My small piece this morning went quite well; the performance was an impressive gain on the rehearsal earlier today.

Ah, man, I completely forgot...... :'(
thanks for figuring out the timing for me, though, Karl.

Excellent! 
I'll make sure to listen, even if I have to remind myself a thousand times this week.  ;D ;D

Must have needed two or three thousand, eh?  ;) 8)

My own private antiquities.

1997?!

Oy!   ;D

Wait until the work has aged another 30 years!   :o

A melancholy experience, visiting early works!  In one sense an artist's output is all connected: the earliest, most immature, most incompetent works are linked genetically to the masterpieces of today and the future.  So this work with its curious title (and those have continued!) is being played through today's echoes.

Or one could say that an artist has only one work to produce, which can never be actually be experienced except through its multi-varied manifestations.  Just as one cannot actually show anybody a "tree," since only specific trees (maple, oak, cherry, etc) are manifested in nature, so the artist has within himself a "work" and all of his paintings, poems, compositions, etc. are variations on that one ultimately mysterious and inaudible Grundton .

Not too bad, really, in this case;  but then, my backlog of other old (but newer than the dissertation, of course) works still waiting for performance (some of which we shall see to later this very month) helps to dispel any cumulative melancholia.

Separately, Paul Cienniwa gave me a disc with last week's performance of Bless the Lord, O My Soul (a good thing), but, it's a single hour-long track with the entire service on it, and the freeware audio editor I have on the home PC seems unequal to the task for editing this down (an annoyance, but hopefully temporary).

It is the curse of genius to be sabotaged by delays!  But an axe can cut through them!

Great news! This is the sort of 'irrational exuberance' I like: the sort that doesn't lead you into a crisis, but improved mental sanity.  ;)
