Fugal Analysis

My teacher asked me to do a graph analysis of the first movement of BWV 80.  I don't remember (or was never taught) what a graph analysis is, so he said just to do an analysis in the score.  Which I had already started when he asked.  I finished the harmonic analysis of the entire cantata (24 minutes worth of music- and I could tell you what every chord is).  I had already started the fugal analysis of the first movement and my goal is to finish the fugal analysis tomorrow, as well as conduct through it.  I found that if I can make myself a to do list the night before, I am much more productive the next morning.  So, tomorrow I plan on completing the fugal analysis (I think this will take more time than I anticipate.  I haven't done an analysis for years), conduct for at least 30 minutes, practice some singing, do some research on my master thesis/term paper for a class (which is probably what I look forward to the most), and maybe run to the library, but given all the other things John and I have planned for tomorrow, I will be very surprised if I make it through this list.  We hope to go hiking in the morning- although we'll see!  I am wide awake right now, since we took a nap this afternoon.  We are heading to our local record store to listen to some good tunes, and we are going to watch the opera that the conservatory is putting on.  I have some friends in the opera, so it will be great to see.

I think Bach is very cheerful.

I also think the Avett Brothers are cheerful.  And I look forward to seeing them again.  I hope their new album comes out soon.  I also think that next Thursday I am going to a fun little show in Hollywood of one of my favorite groups.  It's rare some of my favorite groups come out here.
