Dirty Mocha Choka

So today's coffee is the Dirty Mocha Choka. I invented this drink, and it is quite tasty. All this is, is just chi, mocha, and espresso. I really like this drink a lot ha ha.

The piece is written for string orchestra. I sorta like the way this turned out. Its not as sensual as I would like it, but I guess I have issues being sensual. This is the best I can do. I guess my mind can't create sensual music. I think this sounds more like Egyptian stripper music.

Well I think I'm doen

well I think I am finally finished changing the apearance of my blog. I really like how it looks now ha ha. I hope to get a song out for you guys very soon. for now you will just have to settle with the new looks ha ha blog ya later

Exes & Oh's

Today we have the Exes and Oh's Latte. This is a very yummy creation involving white chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla. Yes this post is a little early for Valentines day, but I thought this one might be fun to do. Sorry for the horrid picture, but its all that I could find that related to the coffee for today. It was either this, or some rather risque photos involving Brittany Spears... I don't think that any of us wants to remember that fiasco.

The music for today is written for string quartet. It sounds really bad, and I think the music itself is sorta awful, but I'll let you be the judge of that. I think this is one of the worst ones I have done in terms of being accurate to the title of the drink. It really doesn't make me feel like I'm in love ha ha... but here it is anyway.


Just a little side note here, I am sitting in on the orchestra rehearsal today because one of the trumpet players is sick... but I can only stay until about 2pm and rehearsal goes to 3... I hope the director wont be mad. Blog ya later...

Black Forest Mocha

Wow, it is late. I had such a good day today that I almost didn't write a song for today :( I know that would have made you so upset, so I decided to get out of the house away from all of the distractions, and sit down and actually do some writing ha ha.

Today we have the ever popular Black Forest Mocha. This is a treat indeed. I have spent mane an evening drinking this. It is quite possibly my favorite drink that involves mocha! The recipe is mocha, cherry, and almond. How can you go wrong with that combo?

The music for today is for a standard bras quintet. I think that this is lending itself to the stereotype of German music. All thou I will have you know that Germans do listen to more than just polka! There is more out there than just that ha ha. Blog ya later!

No Classes

OMG this is my first snow day in years! I am so happy you all have no idea! This is the first time that EMU has closed in about 3 years!

I really have no idea what I'm going to do today. I hope to blog a bit later with a few songs for ya and maybe even get caught up on everything :D That would be amazing. I guess I'm going out with one of my friends for work to help her buy some cloths at a thrift shop ha ha. It will be fun even though I don't have any money to spend :(. Hopefully I will be getting payed soon though, it will be very nice to be able to pay all of my bills. I really want to by some new cloths! BAH!!!! blog ya later...

Bloody Piano

So... this one is very good, I like this one a lot. it recipe is just mocha, white chocolate, and raspberry. Very good comfort coffee. I recommend you try it as soon as possible ha ha.

Here is my little spiel on the music for this post. I actually composed this for full orchestra for a ballet that I am working on. The ballet is based on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, called "The Masque of the Read Death". This particular piece from the ballet, is called the Read Death. This is when the Dancers first come on to the stage and begin their dance. This is to depict the Read Death, the symptoms are pretty ugly, they include profuse bleeding from the pores... ew... so all I did for this was to arrange part of it for three pianos. It sounds really cool, I like it a lot, and I hope you do too.

Country Pumpkin Latte

One of today's (yes there will be more than one yet again as apart of my ever on going effort to catch up) is the country pumpkin latte. This is a wonderful seasonal drink that is really yummie in my tummy. The recipe is pumpkin sauce, cookie dough, and caramel pecan. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Yes... the picture today is a monkey holding a pumpkin... when I saw this I just could not resist, I had to share it with all of you. I guess his name is Colobus, and he currently resides in the Naples Zoo. Isn't he darling?

The piece that goes along with this fine looking animal, is for violin, cello, and harp. I like it, I'm not too sure if it fits the title of Country Pumpkin Latte. I guess you will have to tell me if it does or doesn't. Anny who, I did my best with it and this is what came out of it. I hope all of you like it even if it doesn't fit the title ha ah!

Just an update, I'm working tonight at the library store. It is going to be a very long and boring night seeing as how we are getting up to six inches today. I doubt anyone will want to go to the library on a day like today :( No tips for me tonight. Oh well, I guess I will just have extra time to do other stuff. I'm not sure what yet, but I'll figure it out.

On a side note, I'm reading this book by Ken Follett. It is called "A Dangerous Fortune" Here is the author's description of the book...

"In 1866, tragedy strikes at the exclusive Windfield School. A young student drowns in a mysterious accident involving a small circle of boys. The drowning and its aftermath initiates a spiraling circle of treachery that will span three decades and entwine many loves... From the exclusive men's club and brothels that cater to every dark desire of London's upper classes to the dazzling ballrooms and mahogany-paneled suites of the manipulators of the world's wealth, Ken Follett conjures up a stunning array of contrasts. This breathtaking novel portrays a family splintered by lust, bound by a shared legacy... men and women swept toward a perilous climax where greed, fed by the shocking truth of a boy's death, must be stopped, or not just one man's dreams, but those of a nation, will die... "

It is really a fantastic book. It is one of those books that you just cant put down! I hope that all of you have a chance to read it, I highly recommend it. Blog ya later!

Grasshopper

Soooo... pleas disregard the name... its not really made of grasshoppers... that would just be... well fowl. It is actually made of cream de menth, mocha,and tiramisu. I am not really sure how this actually tastes yet... but I will find out soon.

The music that goes with this drink today, is inspired by Kristina Ward. She jsut so happens to be my manajer, but a really cool gal ha ha. She picked out the instrumentetion, witch is, piccolo, piano, and violin. I did my best with the grasshopper sound... I tried pizz. violin for the bounce and the piccolo for the melody. I hope everyone likes it!

Cherry Cordial

Here is another recipe for today. Yes, I am still trying catch up from that damned virus I had last week :( I am really upset about it as you can tell ha ha ha! Well today's coffee is the Cherry Cordial. The recipe is just cherry, raspberry, and mocha. It is really quite tasty. I enjoy it very much bahaha.



The piece for today is for a string quartet. Let me remind all of you, I write these pieces in about a ten minute time frame, so they may not always be amazing. HA HA! some times I might get a good one, and other times I might bomb, like I did on One Night in Paris. So here it is. HA HA.

White Russian

Today's recipe is called the White Russian. This drink, unfortunately does not contain vodka. Although, It might make my work day go by much faster HA! The actually recipe is simply white chocolate and kahlua flavor.
I really like the idea of today's post. Yesterday, the EMUSO played Shostakovitch's fifth symphony. This symphony was written a few years after the Nazi party took hold over Germany. Shostakovitch's music was also viewed by the Russian government as contrary to the party ideals. In response, he wrote this symphony. People thought it proclaimed the glory of Russia, but in actuality, he was chritisising its ideals.

The piece for today is written for string orchestra and organ. I know its really short and it doesn't have a B section, but it works ha ha! I hope you like it.
