Year End

Another semester of composition has just about come to an end. The course this semester was definitely a good way to finish off my composition courses at memorial university. Having a smaller class to work with was beneficial for getting back more criticism and help for our compositions. The ECM performing our pieces was a great experience and really helped us with our score preparation. I particularly enjoyed writing for voice and piano. I've never written for voice before and it was a lot of fun, once I finally obtained some, to use text to write the music. Also, the fact that I could be a lot more free with the piano was a plus where as usually I end up relying too much on the piano for content.
