Well, I finally got back to the Saint-Saens with a bit more
time than just a few minutes to stare at it. I’m still working in my “muslin”
thread/bead choices. I figure if I can’t see the possibilities in this, I’m
headed down the wrong path anyway. I’ve got a bit of tweaking to do on the two
outer rounds, but you can get the idea for the busy section.

In
the movement from the Symphony, Saint-Saens states each theme, and then begins
to pull in other ideas. He restates ideas from earlier movements, mixing them
up with ideas from this movement. I’m not sure if I’ll keep all the negative
space, but the orchestration is pretty sparce and the organ part is really
quite simple. The whole time I’ve been working on this, I keep reminding
myself: “less is more” and “KISS” and “stick to the point” etc. I will be
letting this sit for a day or so; then messing with a couple of ideas on the
computer before putting anything in thread again.
I love the way your mind works. And then to be able to put those thoughts into something others can see, amazing! And I so enjoy reading your blog.
