Ok, for most of you doing it, that's National Novel Writing Month.  I'm reading it as National Note Writing Month.  

Zephyr's patron (in Madrigal) has commissioned him to write a piece of music.  I figure if I don't get going on it, it will never get done.  I can be a horrible procrastinator on stuff like that.  
(Ask wargoddess, who is patiently waiting for me to set a piece of music in writing  for her.  Sorry, I digress.)  

I had to find the right lyrics first.  I know it's cheating not to write the words myself, but I'm not really much of a lyricist.  Now I'm writing music to fit it.  I'm up to 140 notes on the soprano part.

At 242 words in the piece, assuming at least one note per word with 3 vocal parts plus 2 flutes and string bass, my lowball estimate is 1500 notes, so I'm about 9% of the way there.
