Blah, again.
Music (Album): "Karma" (Delerium)
I've had this CD for about 2 weeks I think and haven't really listened to it yet, so while I'm filling my chocolate fix on Haagen-Dazs low-fat chocolate sorbet, it's providing a very interesting soundscape, which I'm not sure how to describe. It's electronic, with some layered female vocals, but other stuff, too.
I was going to write a whole bunch of stuff down, but now I can't remember it all...so, I guess I'll just write what comes to mind.
The 20th is steadily approaching, which is when we play "In C" down @ Disney Hall - cool!! TWICE in less than a year; not bad. Speaking of Terry Riley's piece...hmmm, it seems not too many people are happy with it, but that's a post for when I have more time. The jist of it is that everything is too Nazi-like, in terms of organization, seating, etc., and not free enough, like it should be. I'm not sure I'm "qualified" enough to comment, but I DO know that putting everyone in front of the brass is a bad idea...bah!
In oboe land, I FINALLY have my oboe back, but ironically, only because Allan had to take the Marigaux I was using down to Michelle because it simply wouldn't play on Monday after the rehearsal...I've never seen him that pissed; it was a little scary. At least he doesn't blame me; I hope. I mean, all the oboe did was get swabbed out, put in a case, and left there for a few hours. It didn't get bounced around or anything. We're at a loss. Anyway, I now have to reorient myself to my oboe, as I was finally sounding good on Allan's. Perhaps more on this later, if I remember and feel like it.
I'm on #12 in the Barret Grand Etudes which means I'm ALMOST DONE!! I don't think we'll finish them before break, but hopefully before my birthday. I'm also done (for now) working on the Mozart concerto and am planning on working on the first and last mvemts. of the Saint-Saens sonata, the 2nd and last mvemts. of the Haydn concerto, and 2nd mvement. of the Hindemith sonata to finish them all up by the end of this year.
Oh, I forgot to say - I DON'T like my theory class @ all...I want Michael Pisaro as my teacher again...I actually learned something (quite a few things, to be real) from that class.
Okay, I have lots more to say, but I need to practice for my lesson tomorrow. As always, more to come.
