Just thinking

Thinking.

I have to revise an arrangement over the holidays, but I'm thinking about the future now. I've got 70% of a piano concerto written, but with no prospect of a performance, I'm considering employing my energies elsewhere. Yes, I could try to finish it, but ...

I'm about to have a bunch of things broadcast on our local radio station. I'll let you know when the pieces are scheduled. I also have a possible performance coming up in the spring. I missed out on an opportunity to have Solomon's Seal performed a couple of weeks ago. I learned of the possibility late, and couldn't find a performer with enough free time to learn it. Now, I have more time, but the question is: What piece? Something with strings is probably best, although I may have a taker for Stimmen.

But that is all old stuff. I need to write something new.

I'm also considering an arrangement of From Her Husband's Hand for Cello and Sinfonietta. I've been considering a version for cello for a long time, and hearing Jakob Kullberg during the summer has solidified my desire to do this at some point. (Jakob are you reading this? We should discuss the possibility.)

It has also been suggested that I write a version for Sax and wind ensemble. (Anyone interested?)

Just thinking. You know ...
