A major change of direction

It looks like the environmental studies major isn't going to pan out. Oh, well. I'm not too worried about that right now. I'm more worried about getting my jury materials together and getting some music composed for next semester's senior recital.

Last night, I made a lot of progress on a new jazz piece I've been working on. I like the chord progression, and I'm hoping to tap some of UMM's jazz talent and see how this thing would actually sound. There's also a choral arrangement of an American folk tune in the works, and that should be done within the next two weeks. I'll probably get the choir to at least look at it so I can find out how that sounds with an ensemble, too. So although I'm not getting as much composition done as I'd like to, I'm still getting something accomplished. I just have to make sure the ideas keep circulating.
