November Update + Listening Assignment #4

Happy November everyone — and for those who celebrate these first few days of November, Happy All Saints Day & Feliz Día de los Muertos! I hope you all have had a wonderfully fun Halloween this week and are ready to get to the business of Christmas music preparations. More details on a performance opportunity in the next few weeks. In the meantime:

We will not have lessons November 22-24 (Wednesday through Friday). As Christmas music commences for all my students, we will also as a music studio take some time to celebrate our gratitude with family and friends for Thanksgiving. Those of you with lessons on Wednesdays will have four lessons this month due to the fifth week. Those of you with lessons on Fridays, please contact me and let's find a time to reschedule for that day.

Below is another "how does this make you feel?" listening assignment with a more contemporary composer, Jon Schmidt. We'll be seeing a bit more from him in the next few weeks as well. Give it a listen and let me know in the comments below your answer. I think you'll like this one.
