Well, this marks post No.25, quarter of the way for one-hundred scatter-shoots. Lets see here, Ive been continuely working on my Quartet in C, as you will remember, I mentioned in a prior post that it was at first a quintet, but I have since dropped the contrabass in favour of allowing the violoncello to take over the bass clef duties. Also I just recently looked at my "Spring Theme: Sunrise" once again and have decided to make it a string quartet with chorus accompiment. Sounds good so far, I have taken the melody part of the chorus and counterpointed it with first violin. At first I was just thinking about writing the counterpoint as I went but said, fuck it, as I normally do and laid in bed and wrote out the eight measure counterpoint by hand and then transfered it over to Finale, sounds pretty fucking good since I was merely using interval changes. I did not stick with the rules of flurid counterpoint but instead went with what I needed. Whats the point of knowing the rules if youre not going to break them?

I have to return later today at the personnel office at my job because of an orientation screw-up, not my fault, completely their's. But that being said, I still got paid for orientation when I went, and I will work later tonight. I miss the beard-net already.

I am a little further along with Tchaikovsky's "Russian Dance" Trepak. Which reminds me.[rant] If you people are going to supply score sheets for a well known globally recognisable piece of composition for the love of all things holy and the virgin Mary's baby, spell the fucking title right for fucks sake! It is not, and I repeat, NOT spelled treepak, for god's sake its t-r-e-p-a-k. Those that honestly dont have a fucking clue I shall refer you to Schirmer Pronouncing Pocket Manual of Musical Terms, page 243. I dont know how many sites I have seen when looking at that complete score and it be labled treepak, who the fuck came up with that, have some diginity for the language![/rant]

Anyway Im going to smoke my last cigarette, listen to Tchaikovsky's Russischer Tanz Trepak and go back to bed, have fun people.
