Hunting The Muse

It's really fun hearing a

It's really fun hearing a big church choir learn and perform a bit piece commissioned by a composer. I sat with the composer tonight and we talked about the piece and joked about what kind of job the choir (and the organist) were doing - it's kind of neat to be hooked in with what are some extremely talented musicians, including one who, it turns it, is a highly sought-out organist that gets really great gigs across the nation and overseas.

The composer, Jim Day, is very nice - his music is impressive and warm, without being in-your-face intimidating. As a musician, it can be hard to find music that is inspiring without being discouraging on other levels. And he might be giving me some composing advice in the future, which would really help (that is if I actually start to compose the few choral ideas I have). Posted by Curt at October 25, 2001 09:39 PM
