Just had piece performed
It went rather well. Francis Jackson (98 years old apparently, bloody excellent composer himself, has several pieces in various well-used anthem books, basically the top non-Rutter bloke in modern choral sacred music) was there. He liked it. EEEE!
I'll go and see about getting it published sometime soon. Also got a couple of possible new commission sources. Cor, I might make money out of this composing lark yet.
I'm getting over my dislike of John Kitchen. He did a damn good job on the accompanying and was nice and chatty afterwards. Maybe we've just got off on the wrong foot.
Iain Torrance, the moderator of the Church of Scotland, is a decent preacher but has a really, REALLY creepy stare when he's talking to you. He kind of leans forward and doesn't blink. It's very very weird and alien. I can see why many people didn't want him as moderator - that stare just freaks people out. It did me anyway.
Andrew is still looking remarkably healthy - in fact, more so than he did back in February. And yet the cancer's not in remission at all as far as we know. It's very odd.
The girl who I'd asked out was there, we chatted politely, but no more so than I did with anyone else. That was fine. She's off back to Wales tomorrow, anyway. C'est la vie (or whatever the Welsh is for that).
EDIT: two people did tape it, and have my address, and will be sending me copies. I will then try to get my soundcard to work and do stuff with it (currently audio input is kinda dodgy quality). (I may end up using my upstairs computer with a working soundcard, trying to cram the MP3 result onto a floppy disk, and then stick it up on here... or maybe I could just drag the older computer downstairs and stick it onto the internet directly from that. Hmm. Will think of something.
