(More on the vacation below, in the inspiration section.)
In the Muse Room the last couple of months, I've been studying aspects of contemporary melody and harmony in a deeper and more analytical dive than I've probably ever done. Not a whole lot to share there, though I do feel I'm becoming a better composer.
My other main Muse Room project since returning from our vacation has been working on some preludes. At the church where I'm the music director, a pianist (often me but sometimes others) starts off the service with a short prelude, around 3 minutes. I've been compiling and arranging some original preludes that I'm using for this purpose.
