I can't believe I've been blogging straight for more than 3 weeks now. More than that, it's a little insane that we're ALREADY A MONTH INTO 2012!! And not even one of those 30 day-months. It's been a whole 31 (and I guess by the time this post goes up, 32) days since the new year began. The time does go by so quickly, especially with travel eating up the last couple of days.
I had a lot of class today and since it's Wednesday, it's once again, Treasures of Yale day. We looked at the Charles Ives collection in the Music Library today, and I have to say that because I am a very melody and lyric-driven person, Charles Ives' music doesn't really appeal to me. Kelsey's band director loves him, but I'm not a huge fan. However, I do appreciate the meaning behind his music. As we said in class, it's definitely music that needs explanation; it's definitely not universally wonderful. Two really cool things that we got to see was an original piano sonata that Brahms had written for Clara Schumann and one of Mozart's hymns. Freaking awesome.
I also began choreographing my pieces for the Phoenix Spring Show today. Super excited. It's always nice to be able to put creative energy into something. I'm actually excited for rehearsal tomorrow. Whoo!
