Euphoniousmusic.com is coming together. It has been interesting revisiting many of these older works, preparing the sheet music samples, sound files, and creating individual pages/listings for each one. And now, it’s time to try to figure out how to create a blog or a post or whatever it is to be called for this in-progress website.
The Pastafarian Holiday is a time for celebration (in any way one sees fit) and usually involves food and drink. Holiday is also for sharing and giving and enjoying the company of good friends and family.
Our Covid-19 pandemic has decimated the ability for many of us to gather in this spirit. For many of us musicians, we feel cut off from colleagues and friends who we normally would see quite regularily in rehearsal or performance settings. But no more. What is normally a busy time of year for music making…will be relatively quiet this year.
Some opportunities exist, here and there, to sort of make music together by sending in recorded parts to click tracks, but it just doesn’t have the same organic and cohesive feeling that can only happen when you are playing in the midst of other musicians…and you all are just enveloped in the moment.
Music has been sparse in 2020, and will likely continue to be sparse for awhile, so here is one gift: Holiday, a Pastafarian Carol for All.
Hopefully, it will bring some enjoyment! If you enjoy this sound file, keep in touch. We will hopefully get to record the parts to click track soon! Happy Holiday!
