Final post!

Hey everyone
My final contribution to the month of music! It’s a first draft of the third variation in my fiddler on the roof variations.

 (Technically it’s December already but oh well)

I want to thank you guys so much from the bottom of my heart for having me as part of this. Although I wasn’t able to upload every day (lord knows that life can get in the way), I thoroughly enjoyed composing again and feel super motivated to continue it into the future. I finally wrote some pieces that I’ve wanted to write for ages, for example this fillder on the roof variations that I have been putting off for years. Now I’ve drafted around 3 variations and am so excited to finish it and perform it!

I think next time I do this, I want to plan a bit more ahead in terms of what I want to explore, or ideas of pieces, instrumentation etc. Once I had any kind of idea then the music came quite easily (generally) but the majority of the time I would get home at 10:30pm from a performance and struggle to come up with an idea for a piece. I’d also like to explore more unfamiliar instrument settings, I didn’t write anything with brass and tried my hand at writing for strings, which I’m slowly getting used to.

Anyway, this was definitely a pretty full on experience but I enjoyed the experience of all of us sharing our music. Thank you for being supportive and so friendly! I can’t wait to hear all of your works in concert!!

All the best,
Ollie
