September 17 - Head Over Heels


Up early (or late from previous, depending on the perspective) creating cover and linking together the pdf's of Orpheus Cycle, Op. 24 -- not a small task, since IV. O How Lost Hopes had a formatting glitch that necessitated breaking the piece into two files (finally figured out how to put them back together by using the MIDI uploaded version as a frame, into which is poured info from the MusicXML variant) and VI. Lyre's Melody had another (a "hide staff" malfunction that wound up hiding three complete memasures of music -- and so close... only two pages from the end... only solution here was to make two complete pdf's, then chop them down to size and reassemble into one at the wonderful website Mergepdf / Splitpdf.


Post results at The International Music Score Library Project and take an extended break.

Later, before and after some yard work with Harriet, do the daily 21st-Century Music work, finish new pdf for Suite ("Sol[ar]"): I. Sun (Op. 2, looking toward the Swarthmore performance) and same for Sinfonietta: I. Allegretto (Op. 26 -- 8 pages total), recording both respectively with the Garishtone Ensemble and Orchestra -- very impressed with the sound quality.  Also create a cover and merge the pdf's of Stolen Students (Op. 25), in prepation for posting.  Finally, after dinner and a movie with H, begin composition of Psalms, Book III, Op. 197 (2011) with Psalm 73.
