Hope that you all had a good time.  :)

Very nice. The trip to Salem and back was mildly arduous, but I find the event worth enduring the travel. 😇

Was there a particular event(s) to which you went/attended?

I'll plan on 15 minutes for the Opus 192

It's a weekly get-together in a Salem bakery led by Barbara, the organist I worked with in Danvers.

At a bakery....yum!  Good to hear that you and Barbara are still getting together; how is she doing?

Quote from: Karl Henning on August 25, 2024, 06:24:31 PMI set up a new Sibelius file. Chamber Orchestra. No notes, yet.
My initial title for the Opus 192 was impossibly sentimental. I'm not averse to sentiment, but for this title, no. I decided that the best solution was to turn to Whitman, so the title is O singer, bashful and tender, I hear your notes. This afternoon, instead of sleeping after PT, I drew up a string fugato.

Most of me thinks I ought to apply myself to doing something else, but I keep listening to this fugato

Just spent a frustrating hour trying to create a fresh CV. After rebuilding the document twice, I couldn't print it out because both sites proved a grift. I finally just created it from scratch.

Were they asking for big fees in order to be able to print it?

Asking any money for something I know I ought to be able to do gratis, is too much. Plus  pulling this at the back end like this is *expletive*
Now, of course, while I've now got the document current, I'm finding really nothing suitable to apply to. Not every day is going to be a good day, I get that. Plus, every day after my stroke is a gift. I'll shake it off, and hope to hear from the first place after the holiday weekend.

Ah, I wondered if they had said that it was a free site and then you saw the "fine print" [What, "Free to enter the data, but not free to print it."?].

Wonder whether or not you might be able to get some sort of job in a music department:  assistant to one of the music professors?  Or in a music library?  No idea what the pay would be like though.  Just some thoughts.

Such positions are typically full-time, which won't work for me.
