Making Music

Today I spent a bit of time arranging my own music for a solo at Mom and Dad's church...I'm singing it on Sunday, the 6th -- in 6 days. I couldn't find anything in my growing collection that seemed to fit the theme except for a good old-fashioned hymn. It's my personal belief that "special music" in a service should be a bit different from the usual congregational hymn. So, I took that hymn and another one, combined them in...well...what could be considered an odd way, wrote my own lyrics and this should be really interesting. I won't have sung it with full accompaniment before Saturday, so I hope it works. Otherwise, I'll have to make changes right then and there which would only make things more interesting. I've written descants before, but never arranged a whole piece. I'm rather looking forward to it...and getting more and more anxious about it the closer it comes!
