practice CANCELLED for tonight</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><TT>Folks, I am very sorry, but I'm cancelling Darkwood Choir
practice for <BR>tonight. To put it frankly, my health sucks at the
moment -- what with <BR>asthma problems, laryngitis, and sleep deprivation --
and one of my <BR>guardian angels has just convinced me not to be a fool and
make things <BR>worse by trying to talk and sing in this condition, and by
generally <BR>wearing myself out more. So, I'll run away, and maybe live
to sing <BR>another day.<BR><BR>I apologize to you all, and especially to
Anne, who was going to let us <BR>use her home for practice
tonight.<BR><BR>Na'arah, my redoubtable Choir Minion, is even now making phone
calls to <BR>notify people of this last-minute cancellation. Between the
phone and <BR>the mailing list, I hope we get everybody.<BR><BR>On the bright
side, I have accomplished a great deal of work on the <BR>processional music,
and will upload it to the choir website as soon as I <BR>am fairly happy with
it. I have found that the hardest part of <BR>composing this is not
simply writing it (which is actually pretty easy), <BR>but trying to make sure
it will be enjoyable to modern ears while still <BR>staying true to the
archaic genre. We are used to music that is much <BR>more
sophisticated.<BR><BR>I have also been scoring "Darkwood, the Oak of the West"
for choir. <BR>Currently I'm working on a 4-part version (1 soprano/teno, 2
<BR>alto/baritone, 1 bass), but I will probably come out with a 3-part
<BR>version, too, and we can decide which one works best for us.<BR><BR>See
you all soon, I hope.<BR><BR>John<BR><BR><BR></TT><!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --><BR><TT>
