Densities, again

The more I listen to/delve into the piece I am working on for piano and drum set, the more that I realize that it needs to be a percussion ensemble piece to have the desired effect. I can also now see one of the major challenges of being a working composer, which is writing music to a deadline. Having (thought I) completely finished it, after only about three months of work, my final product is only a sketch for the piece I now envision that I want people to hear. And yet a concert is expected in a little over a month. This is certainly a conundrum.


In other news I've been accepted for a Masters of Music in Composition at King's College, London. Looks like I'm leaving town for a while.
