After what seemed an eternity, I have finally been able to get back to composing. I had better get back to this as I have promised to compose a set of six to nine songs on poems by a local poet. I also wrote a grant to help fund this project, and I should hear whether it is funded within the next week to 10 days.
One of the poems just really, really grabbed me. It is about working (only) part-time. Working on this for maybe four hours max, I had a page of music written. Had to make one or two corrections (certain words or parts of words should not be on a strong beat), but I really like what I composed. It is possible I could have the entire poem set by Christmas. Assuming no medical stuff gets in my way, of course.
