I'm in the home stretch of the solo tuba piece! With the string of concerts, holidays/breaks, I have had to move the delivery date back a few days, so it will be delivered by the end of the week. Another curve ball: learning how to use the notation program Dorico! As a life-long user of Finale, this has been a difficult switch, but a necessary one, and I'm seeing how it will be a better program as I get more comfortable and familiar with it.
Some good news: we have a title!!! The piece is called ORBIT. I had gotten to a point in the composing where I hit the wall, and wasn't sure where the piece was going to go. So, instead of focusing on what to do next, I thought about what I had so far and what it was telling me. That is what led me to the title “Orbit,” and then this enabled me to finish out where the piece was going!
Thanks all, I'll be in touch again soon!!
