I 4-pointed my last semester of school(That's the best one can do here). Taking the summer off, and just working, trying to get some money together for a new synthesizer.
Oh yeah, and I came back too.
I've been given one LARGE summer assignment by one of my professors which is to take the Dichterliebe, which is a cycle of songs composed by Schumann, set to text by Heinrich Heine, make a complete harmonic analysis of all 16 songs, and then write a paper explaining how the chords that Schumann chose, and the harmonic motion of each piece represents it's text. Things like, WHY is this line being sung over an a-minor chord, and what does that do to the meaning of the words, that sort of thing. Interesting assignment, and sort of fun, assuming I analyze the music properly first.
