Canterbury

In case you missed it -- I had a piece performed in Canterbury Cathedral in January. There's a recording and so on at my "proper" blog.

Other than that? I've spent most of the last several weeks with my head down, working on my Stations of the Cross. Now that I've finished those, or at least in such form as they'll be sung in March, I am coming up for air and taking stock of what else needs doing:

• I'm hideously behind on Cecilia's List and would like to get back on track Real Soon Now
• I missed a bunch of competition deadlines but there are a few more in the pipeline that look pretty interesting
• I need to compile my thesis portfolio thingummy (technical academic term, that) and write A Whole Bunch of words about it
• I find myself considering what I will do with myself After The PhD in a different way than I did previously.

For the time being, things are a little bit quieter; and then the first two weeks of March are going to be very, very busy, and I'll only recover from that and then start gearing up for Holy Week and Easter, and I don't quite know what my schedule will be like after that. So I'm trying to use the next few weeks to focus on things that will make life easier for Future Me: getting back to Laundry Zero, getting adequate sleep, water and exercise, Tidying Up For Real, and all of that sort of thing.

I'm also very tempted to sign myself up for February Album-Writing Month or FAWM, because in the fullness of time I want to have one hymn for each of the 14 Stations of the Cross, too, and the FAWM goal is 14 'songs' in 28 days. It could be a pretty good fit.

Congratulations.

I can think of many worse places to have a piece performed. :o)

Oh and I've just had time to listen.

Such a lovely setting- I'm familiar with the 15th century setting of the middle English lyric having studied early English literature as an undergrad rather a long time ago and before I caught history!
