Well, Aaron is completely right on the whole dangers and difficulties of group blogging. I myself have checked back here frequently hoping to see new posts and have been reluctant to post more myself since I already have at least two posts up and don't want to feel like an blog hog. However, in the absence of new contributions, I will post a little update about my own musical exploits since April.

I am really excited to say it is now official. I have been published. My SATB choral piece "If Thou Wilt, Remember" has been released through Lighthouse Music Publications. That would be our wonderful music librarian and Faculty choral arranging professor Jeff Smallman's company.

This has been something that has been in the works over the summer and it has just now been released, much to my family's and my own excitment. I originally wrote the piece as my choral arranging course final project and it has astounded me how far a term project has taken me. The piece itself is a setting of Christina Rossetti's poem "Song" and includes pinao accompaniment and obeo obligato. If anyone is interested in hearing a short clip of it or wants to look at a bit of the score, check it out at Lighthouse Music Publications.

Oh, and one last thing, for those of you who are like me and are still kicking around London, come see me sing Tessa in this year's Musical Theatre Productions run of Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Gondoliers". It's running from Novmeber 12-21 at the Palace Theatre and will be an awesome show full of mistaken identities, mixed up lovers and biting social commentary on class and marraige all disguised in witty, bright musical comedy.

Well, that's all for now. Now someone else post something!
