this and that
Sad news: I'm losing a student at the end of the month. :( His practicing leaves something to be desired but lessons with T were always fun.
Good news: Come in from the Firefly Darkness is a new piece for the CK choir this semester. It resonated with me in a magical way the very first time I played through it. :D It's got a folk sound to it and sounds lovely.
Come in from the Firefly Darkness
Open up your door, my friend, and let me come in,
come in from the firefly darkness to hear your stories again.
I have wandered through this land from end to end.
I've come home through the firefly darkness to sing with you again.
Chorus:
Sing songs of wonder, sing of life begun,
of fireflies and full moons over meadows green.
Sing songs of children growing toward the sun,
like the wild, new lilies of the spring.
I've been up in mountain skies with the elk and the snow,
heard the silence of the prairie and watched the wild grass grow.
Road and river beckon me in voices clear and low.
My path will be lit by fireflies, so now, friend, I will go.
And in the sweetness of the night I will sing
Chorus.
More good news: I read on Alex Levine's blog today that bloopers will be on the season 4 dvds! And Martin Gero's interview with the Beckett fans at the rally in Vancouver last March will also be on it. I was at the rally and standing next to some of the people being interviewed, so you might see me! :D
