Spring Break and Composing Don't Mix
This week is Spring Break for my daughter, and we've done a few fun things. I wasn't able to take off a ton of time at work, but we did manage to get to Sea World in San Antonio one day this week.
The downside of Spring Break is I haven't been able to get much music done this week! Generally I do my work in the evenings after the girl is settled down in bed; this week we've been letting her stay up late, so I've not been able to do nearly as much as I wanted to. Still, I've finished actually composing "A Mighty Fortress", finally settling on an ending I like (it does end on a unison note), and all that remains is to finish orchestrating, followed by a bunch of "secret sauce" stuff I do to take the piece from 90% to 100% complete.
I had originally hoped to finish the piece by the end of this week. I hadn't anticipated the Spring Break thing. Well, she's back at school next week, so maybe then.
