I’ve arrived back home. Begun to unpack and settle back in
to my schedule. After a walk by the Bay of course! Let me take this opportunity
to publicly thank all those who welcomed me, listened to me, laughed with me,
and tatted with me! I had a marvelous time! As I packed, I felt a pit like I’d
been Trick or Treating! All those goodies!! I’ll be using them and enjoying
them and thinking of all my new friends!
Now, it’s on to practicing for another Lunch Concert at St.Paul’s. I’m looking to focus on a compositional technique: Passacaglia. There
are quite a few spellings of the word, but the concept is to take a phrase and
repeat it over and over again for the length of the piece. I doubt I’ll be
using the greatest of the organ pieces using this technique: Passacaglia in cminor. Why? Because I’ve had to re-finger and I just may not have time to
unlearn what I committed to memory and learn what I must do to bring Bach to
life!
As for tatting a pattern based on the wonderful Bach
Passacaglia, I’ve got sketches!
Sounds as though you had an excellent trip. Good luck with the Passacaglia.
