worklog yesterday and today

[artsyhonker]

Yesterday:
-was on a train all day which does cramp my style a bit.
-did Twitter #musochat questions, asynchronously because they happen at around 2am UK time
-wrote draft of a hymn to use for September Patreon
-tried and failed to find a text that I like at all for St Cecilia
-arranged some in-person support from a friend for some Nasty Admin Tasks that have become too big for their boots

Today:
-remembered to search specifically for Canadian composing competitions, found a few more, added them to the list, wrote up index cards. One of them I could think of a suitable text for straight away, because when I had a cold recently I spent some time immersed in wikisource.
-promised to finish O Nata Lux by the end of the week for a choir in Ireland
-read some Canadian poetry in a rather desultory manner

Next up:
-harmonise hymn tune from yesterday, goal is to get it online tomorrow or Friday but it will need to sit overnight after harmonisation.
-work on Musical Hat Draw pieces -- get them off the page and into the computer as much as possible
-O Nata Lux
