This is another post about an ongoing music project. This one’s a song to which I set the lyrics of David Petersen’s “Oh Day Away,” published in a comic, and how I ended up arranging the song for choir in a traditional style. Unlike with “Monk Suite,” there’s actually a sound clip, albeit just rough MIDI… but it’s something to listen to! It’s a setting of a lovely lyric by Mouse Guard author David Peterson to a melody of my own, arranged for choir.

After we finished those, I noted that there were two other Mouse Guard volumes available that we didn’t already have, as well as a single issue comic from this year titled The Owlhen Caregiver and Other Tales and the Mouse …
Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard, Vol. 3, by Various Artists
Just like with the previous volumes of this series, I read this book in a single sitting to my son, who was enthralled all the way through. I’d never read him anything that he was so interested as to insist on returning to it every day till it was done, the way he was with this series. (However, he is now similarly enraptured by David Weiger and Terryl Whitlatch’s The Katurran Odyssey. Expect a post on that at some point.) I know I praised the second volume of Legends of the Guard for embracing a wider variety of styles and …
