Dear and faithful reader,
About fourteen years ago, my friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chordam7 and I wrote the libretto to a Jazz-age ragtime Cthulhian opera.
Well, mostly I wrote the libretto and mostly he worked on the music. But only mostly. It was a collaboration.
It was, sadly, a collaboration that we never really finished. The libretto is complete. The introductory material is sort of half-done, the musical themes and tunes are about two-thirds done, and the orchestration... well, the less said about the orchestration, the better.
We had talked over the years about kickstarting the orchestration, with a CD as the end result, but we agreed that more of the music needed to be finished first.
And then, as with so many things, life got in the way.
We had lunch today and decided that we needed to publish the libretto, with perhaps some of the existing music and orchestration as illustrative or supplemental material. It's just dumb that we're sitting on this.
So, there we are.
