Not much got done today.
But I DID ready/listen to the entirety of Haydn's The Creation. There were some points that really moved me -- particularly in the first part.
I didn't get to any German today, but I consider all of the German that I saw in The Creation to be good exposure.
I also began some more preliminary research on Haydn and The Creation. My first source is Bruce C. MacIntyre's Haydn: The Creation (New York: Schirmer Books, 1998). I also have Nicholas Temperley's book of the same title (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991).
In 302 we discussed the origins of the symphony: Sammartini and Stamitz.
We also did some interesting follow-the-leader exercises in GEM. It's inspired me to get started on my choreography score piece. I also plan on doing a solfege exercise similar to what we did there in my sight-singing class.
Speaking of composing, I hope to work on my Webern-style composition today.
