@Melissa – absolutely! Deadlines mean we do the thing, but when we do the thing over and over again, just by the general bell curve distribution of things sometimes we do some really cool stuff.

I was employed as the director of music for a church for 14 years. As much as I would like to say that everything I planned and executed with my various choirs and musicians was divinely inspired, it was also very often the result of ‘Sunday comes around every week and we need music for worship” energy. But, in the midst of that, there were truly some incredible musical moments and wonderful pieces that inspired meaningful worship. Sometimes getting the job done is just about getting it done, but sometimes there is brilliance along the way!

@Lizzy- I am creating my own calendar. I’ve only set it up through the end of July but I keep adding to it, and I know I’m on track to finish. If you’d like a copy you can email me (lvanderkam at yahoo dot com).

Remind me – did you make your own calendar for listening to all of Bach or find one? Either way, is it available somewhere? Thinking I might like to try it.

Such a great reminder (currently in the murky middle on several ongoing projects) and I love seeing it from the angle of Bach’s works and your own creative pursuits.
