Merry Christmas -- and Backordered Posts!!!

Season's greetings and happy holidays to everyone!!

Though I didn't write much while sloughing through the thick of the end of the semester, I kept the Journal in mind and have notes on my desk for the things I plan to write about. Here are the writings that are in transit and scheduled for delivery in the coming weeks before school starts again:
  • A look at Childrens' Concerts
  • Brief discussion of a Bruckner symphony
  • My first experiences in a Praise Band
  • A preview of next semester's Opera
  • Discussion of Christmas Concerts
    Including a brief essay: The "Melodic Fi" and Its Uses in Generally Awesome Music
  • A bit about good ol' John Cage
...quite a smorgasbord of subjects! I probably won't go in exactly this order, but I'll be sure to hit all the topics.

I hope that you all had a blessed Christmas and that you have several more days to spend with your family and friends before work and school start up again.

That's all for now -- I'll be writing again soon!

A stage, beautifully set for a Christmas Concert!
