Enya, Anyone?

I don't know why, but some of my harmonizations gravitate toward an Enya sound, moving in 3rds. I don't even own any of her CD's but I've enjoyed listening to her at my sister's house. My orchestration for Steph's oboe solo is no exception to this phenomenon. /gm/BbM/EbM/gm, FM/BbM/. I knew I was doing it right away, but I didn't know what else to do. It's hard to get a sonority out of my head. Does anyone else have bad harmonization habits? How do you deal with them?

Other than that, as I worked on my project today I reflected on how far we have come, and how much I have learned in this class. It doesn't take me quite as long to complete a project anymore. That's nice.
