The projects I had in mind for the summer were mostly replaced by another set of projects (best-laid plans, etc.), and they are mostly ongoing, since my life is largely being consumed by teaching the pants off music theory at the moment. I love it, though, and next semester will (hopefully) ease up.
I completed the first draft of a choral piece I'd like to rework (and get text permissions for!), The Calling Under the Breath. I don't know how I feel about it yet; it may need to sit in a corner and think about what it's done for a while. In the next few months, I am (optimistically? insanely?) planning to work on: a song (or song cycle) for Lucy Shelton, who will be visiting UC Berkeley this spring; a fully-formed version of Angeles (three movements as originally planned); a piano solo for Shiau-uen Ding, "responding" to Liszt's Dante Sonata; a work for the f(x) ensemble, Cristhian Rodriguez's new music ensemble (for their second new music marathon extravaganza); and an electroacoustic work for the Onix Ensemble. That's roughly in chronological order, with all but the piece for Onix being complete sometime in the spring.
Currently, That Thing I Forward To All My Composer Friends is from David Rakowski's website. It's hilarious. It also hurts.
