Assumed audience: People who like reading year-in-review summaries. (I always assume that’s mostly just me, a few years in the future!)
A bit of context: For many years now, I have made it my habit to write up one of these summaries. In this case, I have tried to make it a bit more digestible by breaking into smaller chunks. All of the posts are available at the 2025 in Review series page.
This year I:
- I composed and published Holy Saturday, a short chamber work, with versions for piano; for violin, viola, cello, and contrabass; and for chamber orchestra.
- I finished a first draft of the third movement of the symphony I am writing.
- I wrote a tiny bit of music for my music-focused YouTube channel.
See the corresponding issue of my music newsletter for more details and reflection on all of this!
