As some of you already know, and some of you probably don’t, I am writing a musical about nerds. Recently, with changes to the plot to make the show less predictable, I found myself needed to make changes to the music. It was at this point that I discovered that my original plan of having a synthesizer do the string and brass parts was too restricting. So, to take advantage of Sibelius 6’s feature set and to give myself more room to breathe musically, I killed the synth and replaced with a brass section and a string section. Anyway, here is the rewrite of the Overture, opening song, and the play-off for the opening song.

Also, I tend to update my Facebook Page with music-related updates more often than I do here.
