http://earmusic.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Music to my ears. Notes on music in the key of A. Saturday, June 06, 2009. It's been a good week musically. Last Sunday was Pentecost; the choir sang well, with a very spirited rendition of William Dawson's Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit. Monday the choir was one of two at the San Francisco AGO's post-annual meeting concert. They were fabulous. In addition to performing works of several others, the performed my My Heart is not Lifted Up. From The Needham Psalter. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Composer, organ...

music to my ears: dolce, ma con moto
http://earmusic.blogspot.com/2007/07/dolce-ma-con-moto.html
Music to my ears. Notes on music in the key of A. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Dolce, ma con moto. Summer is supposed to be a little more relaxed. Back in the day when I relied quite a bit on freelance income from my musical pursuits, it was. And with all that extra time to do things, I didn't have the disposable income to do them! So maybe there's a time for growth. That is definitely music to my ears. Just wanted to wish you a happy 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San Francisco Lyric Chorus. 12/12...

Music to my ears. Notes on music in the key of A. Tuesday, June 05, 2007. I don't know where the time went! I've written and performed some new pieces, continued directing the handbell choir at church (not to mention the Chancel Choir and our contemporary ensemble), become assistant director of San Francisco Lyric Chorus, and otherwise filled up time in a number of interesting ways.but not said anything here since December. Oh, yeah: And it's past time to celebrate the publication of I Come with Joy.

music to my ears: From the Director
http://earmusic.blogspot.com/2010/11/from-director.html
Music to my ears. Notes on music in the key of A. Monday, November 15, 2010. Choosing the music for a concert is at best a somewhat mysterious process (please see my earlier post. For concert details). At the end, we hope that the audience will feel that the music fits together, that there is a flow and a connection among the pieces that makes the progression of pieces almost inevitable. In the case of this program, we began with the Pinkham Christmas Cantata. Since we were doing In Ecclesiis. Even thoug...

music to my ears: Christmas Fantasy
http://earmusic.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-fantasy.html
Music to my ears. Notes on music in the key of A. Thursday, November 11, 2010. From time to time I like to comment on one of my compositions. The process gives me the opportunity to take a step back and look at the piece, and also helps me create program notes. Since the. Is on the San Francisco Lyric Chorus's upcoming concerts (December 4 and 5, 2010), this post is particularly timely. Grew out of the process of developing the Lyric Chorus’s. It Came Upon The Midnight Clear. The 2010 version of the.

Music to my ears. Notes on music in the key of A. Wednesday, November 03, 2010. The end of the year is always a busy time for any musician.

music to my ears: Dies Irae (trans. it's d**n hot!)
http://earmusic.blogspot.com/2006/07/dies-irae-trans-its-dn-hot.html
Music to my ears. Notes on music in the key of A. Saturday, July 22, 2006. Dies Irae (trans. it's d* n hot! Did I say that it was hot today? As I write this at 9:45 in the evening, it is still 95 degrees F. outside. That's hot, even for this part of California, where a little heat in the summer is a worthwhile price to pay for generally quite temperate weather. I'm working on several posts that I hope will come to completion over the next week. A fuller description of Songs of Prophecy. Cheers from the o...

music to my ears: Pianissimo
http://earmusic.blogspot.com/2006/12/pianissimo.html
Music to my ears. Notes on music in the key of A. Tuesday, December 19, 2006. Well, my life has been anything but quiet.but I've managed to take a five month break without even trying. In my last post (July 22) I spoke about putting together some info on Songs of Prophecy. I've done that, but just not taken the time to post it. Five months later, I'm in the afterglow of a pretty nice presentation of the piece two days ago. I'll post the info on Songs of Prophecy. It's music to my ears. Glad the piece wen...
