Back in 2004, when I really started to consider composition as a major I made a list of pieces that I wanted to write within my composition ‘career’. I put it aside as my life priorities changed, and I found it yesterday. I think it is time that I bring back this list, and hope to start crossing more things off. So that I can hold myself accountable, I want to make it public. This isn’t a complete list of ideas, but as of right now it is a big enough one to always remind me that I have projects I can and need to be working on!!
