iPaper Test

I'm just testing this thing I just got... the iPaper thing. It's awesome. Well, just for a testing thing, here's my Little Suite for Viola Solo.

Little Suite for Viola

Brr...

It's been rather cold! It was 5 Celsius last night, but the weather
widget thing said that it feels like 2 Celsius. It's 7 Celsius now but
it says that it feels like 4 Celsius...

I was asked to write a piece for the Elder Chamber Orchestra! It's
kinda nerve wrecking... scary. Graeme asked me to do it and of course,
I accepted it. Well, the specs is that it's got to include the String
Quartet as the solo and the Chamber Orchestra too. They are playing
another piece of similar format for that concert, William Walton's
Sonata for Strings (which apparently is an awesome piece for the
chamber orchestra). Makes me even more worried now xD I think I just
got to write my best and differently (well, obviously).

Haha, eep. I gotta go to the uni to rehearse (so early in the morning)
with Sam and Matt for the Handel Recorder sonata. And then play for
Blake's exam. So, I'll be off now.

Quick Update 12 May 2009

Nothing much to say today. The day went on as usual. Haven't done much composition in the past few days, so that mightn't be so good.

I sent the Ave Maria to Emma. We're hoping to rehearse it with the choir on Friday, a run through to see how it sounds like. I should email her telling her not to print it just yet because I've made a few changes since I last sent her the copy.

Other than that, I should start on Reinhard's piece and string quartet!

Hmm, time to sleep.

Compositional Activities

Well, that worked, yay! I don't need to log into my account anymore to post! That's heaps better! :D

Anyway, I've finished Ave Maria for SSAA choir. Hmm, it's a bit boring though. Especially the fact that I picked a text that has been recomposed a thousand million times. Well, that will have to do. My other plan was way too big for me to use. The time limit is max 4-5mins... And even this one slightly go over that. Oh well.

I have also sent the scores of Variations on a Theme by Paganini for Fagott and Piano to Matt and Sarah (finally!). I think they are really worried atm because I haven't sent Sarah the final piano score yet...

Now, I have to work on my Cello + Piano melody thing, keeping in mind to orchestrate it for my assignment later on. At the moment, it's still really crude.

As for Reinhard's piece.... Hmm, I will have to start thinking of that! The Two Piano pieces are done, but it's not titled yet! Someone help!

Anyway... I'm going to the city to post some stuffs and print off my assignments.

I'm not sure this will work, but let's see if attaching images work on this! :D w00t!

This is St. Xavier Catholic Church in Victoria Square/Tarndanyangga.

Testing

I'm testing to see if I can use my email to post updates =D

*fingers crossed*

Easter Break

So, it's easter break. So it seems... but it doesn't feel at all like it. So much to do, I have to finish the assignments by Tomorrow/Monday! Or I'll be dead! I am nearly done with the transcription one but have yet started my Viola piece. So that will be a mess :)

Apart from that, I've been taking a lot of photos recently. Check them out at my deviantArt account.

I'm tired, I should go to bed. Sorry for the short update =P

Tragedy

Right, so now there was a "murder" in Medan, two young teenagers died in the fire that was allegedly started on purpose by the now missing maid of the house. The two children are only 15 and 14 years old: Natassa and Melvin. It's rather disturbing how young they are... Even more so because the girl is one of my sister's friends and the boy is my cousin, Tom's close friend.

I've made a video tribute for them. I hope this can amplify how happy they were, and that their death is noticed and cared by people.

Anyway, I should sleep...
