Recital Reflections

How do I begin? It was beautiful. I don’t think I can express to you exactly how wonderful it all was, or how much it meant to me. I have only begun to understand that myself! I have gotten such wonderful feedback from the whole experience, and I’m sure I’ll continue to get more as I process the evening and the work that led up to it.

So far the only pictures from the evening, I hope my friend won't mind my sharing them!

And my work is still yet to be performed this semester! The College Choir will be singing my setting of “Psaume 23″ at their concerts, and my dear friend Stephen Long will be singing my setting of “Sonnet de l’Absinthe” by Raoul Ponchon at his Senior Recital!

The above French McDonald’s commercial has gotten a lot of traffic in the U.S. in the last few days. It’s been featured on news shows; I fond it via a retweet by Neil Gaiman. Once again, those damn Europeans are beating us at that whole being smart thing. It’s sad to know that the ad is causing such a firestorm here, and exciting to know that McDonald’s felt comfortable enough to show it overseas.

How do you feel about ads so specifically targeted at a group? How would you feel if it was your controversial demographic represented? And also, should the US response to this ad really matter, since it’s not meant for the American people?
