Nervousness while waiting

So, I sent out two works to really BIG competitions and now I'm nervous like never before. Will I win anything? Place anywhere? Will my work get chosen??? I hope so.. but you never know what will happen.

Finally finished and submitted

So today I completed my work for the submission to the Cabrillo festival. I expect there to be quite a deal of revision IF I am selected to participate - which I really, really, REALLY want to participate! The work is quite unlike any of my previous orchestral works and I think really shows a nice amount of growth in my own personal style and sound. I posted the work for peer review on Young Composers. If any of my readers, whoever you are, wish to hear it click the link below! Enjoy!

Morton Gould

Tonight I prepared my submission materials for the Morton Gould. I feel good about it this year - sending one of my best string quartet works! I'll keep you all updated!
