Living the dream

So yeah, it's been a while, my cousin got married, the Red Sox won the world series, and the Patriots squeaked out a win against an apparently better team that reminded me of the San Diego game in last year's playoffs, but the main reason I'm writing this is because of my weekend at Bowdoin. They commissioned a piece from me, my "Partita for Solo Orchestra" which I worked on all summer, and it was finally performed by the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, an insanely talented and wonderful ensemble that made Saturday's concert unforgettable. It was an honor just to be included amongst the other alumni and professors, but the experience itself couldn't have been any better. Plus, back at Butler they happened to be performing another piece of mine, entitled "Marimbecile," and it sounds like that concert also went well really. So now I'm basking in the Boston glow, hanging out until Thanksgiving, and still thinking about how beautiful this weekend was. I could get used to this.

I'm sorry that you got compared to Yanni. I don't think they meant it in too bad a way.
