At some point late last semester, I went through and determined how many man-hours and hours per person it took a choir to prepare for a concert. I don’t have those calculations on me, but I will definitely share them here later.
The point is, I’ve been thinking a lot about time and work in relation to music and just how much music goes into a semester of my life here. Let alone a year. Between piano, voice lessons, basic skills, choir, small ensemble, and percussion, how many pages, measures, songs, hours?
I want to know these answers, not because I can really do anything with the information (although I can), but because I am interested to see it represented this way. I mean, I already know; I live it for Zeus’ sake. I have no reason to do this other than ever-present and insatiable curiosity.
With my obsessive need to write things down and record things has actually enabled me to do this. And I’m pretty freaking stoked about it.
