News, October 2008 Long time no see!
Since my last newsletter there has been a while and the reason is simple: although there are some operations in eight months,'s has not given enough of it to fill a new registration. Until now.
First of all, Uwe Liefländer from his job at St. Augustine at the beginning of June's been laid off, and my feelings about it can be summarized in six words: Good, that we are rid of him! I have not had a problem with the simple premise of what he has tried to do - that is, a devout and Classical repertoire-oriented use, but what have composed the contemporary composers since the time of Vatican II around - but the way in which it is addressed it, has many people - let alone me - would widen. I could express enough complaints about him to fill a book, but suffice it to say that he was bad for our community, let alone me. (For pastors that are superior to, to make him and the musicians that are superior to him or for him to work, I say. Of warranty) After he left, I took the 16.30-Clock-mass for the summer to a new choral conductor, Lisa-Marie Massey, in mid-August came. Your children's choir singing material that is widely known to the community, as the songs that Uwe has presented contemporary with a bit of material.
meantime I continue to work with the 9-Clock Choir at St. Augustine and the 11-Clock Choir at St. Elizabeth. Our choir at St. Augustine is preparing for a concert on 2 November rise. For that I Prepare a backing track of a song that my friend sent me Ralf, Tore Aas' "I Call On Your Name" ("I'm calling your name), and a play Vivaldi's" Gloria ".
My job at Resurrection of Our Lord to a "How decreased required "basis. The chorus, singing as I work with, as for the 9.30-Clock-mass, and although they want me to play there as a regular organist, this is not possible because of conflicts with the 9-clock mass at St. Augustine and the 11-clock mass at St. Elizabeth. Although they have since found a regular organist who can play both the rehearsals and the 9.30-Clock-mass, there are some Monday nights, to whom he can not play rehearsals, and then they call me to represent him.
As for my own actions, I'm in a hurry, mainly in the administration of my music business. As I said in my last newsletter mentioned, I bought a new computer at the end of December. In March I ripping all my CDs to its hard disk, and in order to exempt some shelf space, I store them. Here I work for six months to a text file that consists of the lyrics for the songs on these CDs, so I will not have to bring their storage box, every time I have to look up the lyrics of a particular song on one of them. In August I made
my IBM ThinkPad 600 laptop broken by chance when I bought a power cord that had an incompatible voltage, as it turned out, and I have since bought an Acer Aspire 5315 laptop. Gradually, since the last two months, code I find him to so much of the functionality of the ThinkPads as possible. Unfortunately, my Roland Sound Canvas sound card (SCP-55) with Windows Vista, (written is Roland's latest drivers for the card for Windows 3.1 and 95) because of driver incompatibility. I depend heavily on this card if I Prepari MIDI files for use in St. Augustine and mix because his organ has a sound module that has the same sound canvas shades. I am looking for but a way to solve this problem and I hope that I still even have access to the notes of the SCP-55 will have, within about a month. Stay tuned!
