making time for music
it was supposed to pour for most of today, but the skies have chosen to remain gray, without shedding as much as a drop, leaving us with just that stifling humidity in the air that comes when it fails to rain.
i finally got down to tackling the stack of scores for this weekend, hitting my [...]

mutiny
the rain came down in sheets just as i stepped out of my room to get a cup of hot chocolate (or cocoa au lait, as it is elegantly labeled) from the vending machine at the lobby. i wish it would thunder as well, just to match my somewhat mutinous feelings right now.
the pain and [...]

some music talk
here’s a nugget that i heard at a choral workshop i was attending today. the clinician (japanese composer and conductor, ko matsushita) applied an interesting analogy to explain the importance of the tonic (doh) and the dominant (soh). the tonic, he said, is the father of the family – stable, head of the household, and [...]

i thank you
for the music.
and the friendship.
lunches. coffee. suppers. talks. encouragement. hugs. laughter. confidences.
lessons learnt.
but most of all, still, the music – inspiring, thought-provoking, challenging, beautiful, even warped.
thank you for the music. see you in a bit.

today, i wish i had taken my music education more seriously when i did have the chance. and then maybe, i might have had a shot at teaching kids do-re-mi instead of teaching bored semi-adults about society (when they clearly do not care which way the world turns).
i don’t remember learning music in school. we [...]

oh, the loveliness of it all…
i don’t mean that at all. sometimes sarcasm takes the edge off things and makes life more bearable.
such fodder for whining! all of a sudden, i have four trips to plan – half of which i am not even keen on. i used to think that any form of travelling equals to loads of fun, [...]

… i decided, instead, to blog.
my first pop concert! colorful and noisy and absolutely awesome! misia is an amazing singer on stage; much more so than on her recordings, in fact. she had boundless energy, singing and dancing and jumping and running on stage; we felt breathless just watching her. and her whistle tone…! i [...]

飛び方を忘れた小さな鳥
the tiny bird that has forgotten how to fly. (really makes you want to change “tiny” to “fat,” doesn’t it? well, for me, anyhow.)
one of misia’s songs – just another one of those japanese ballads that i actually like. incidentally, i am going to watch her perform live in two days. my virginal rock/pop concert experience! i hope it [...]
