August 5: A former piano student played the organ at church, so it was an early morning. Then, choir folders needed their music switched for the upcoming season, a set of rehearsal tracks needed recording, a choir schedule needed typing, and of course, our annual potluck choir rehearsal was this evening so I also had to cook food to take to the host’s house and run the rehearsal. Today’s cheerful P&F in D major reflects the hurry of the day, with rising sixteenth notes followed by eighth note triplets, four pages of running, followed by a fugue subject with an insistent repeating note that is densely patterned throughout. It was nice to get lost in this, and to enjoy the elegant simplicity of a Bach resolution at the end of all the effort. If only life imitated art.
