But um, yeah. There is a lot I have to do. I need to get my passport, and I need to start seriously thinking about my 20 page research paper. I'll be talking about the role of the guitar in the music Spain! My going to Spain depends on my ability to get that research paper done, and performing well in the mandatory preparation class. I hope that I do well. I'll do my very best! I've never been to Europe, and it's just so different over there!
You certainly don't see much scenery around here that looks like that... [dreamy sigh]
So anyways, tonight was officially the last of my finals. I had music theory this morning, and tonight we performed the first two movements of Dvorak's 8th Symphony! We're going to do all four in may, but I was so excited for this performance. I am acting principal (there's another lady who is usually principal, but was unable to make it this semester), and I got to play all these wonderful solos! Dvorak wrote such charming music, and the flute solos that he wrote are so lovely! I really enjoyed playing it, and I can't wait to start work on the rest when the next semester starts. But I'm not in any hurry to get back to school, haha. I'm too tired, I need to recharge myself.
So anyways, to celebrate, let's have some amazing Joaquin Rodrigo!! This is his guitar concerto, and it's become one of my favorite pieces. Rodrigo is an amazing composer, and I look forward to studying his works in the coming semester.
