Time to see Melissa Rinck and company,
as there have been suspicions
since the
Christmas Day
repast.
So,
out
in
the
relatively
early
morn,
with
the
bad-
but-
could-
be-
a-
lot-worse
news --
in the chair with
Elizabeth assisting --
another movement of Conversations, Op. 234 (II. DDS) -- and, somehow better in the situation, thanks to observation, supplemented by music therapy...
Igor Stravinsky
Symphony of Psalms
Praeludium for Jazz Ensemble
Tango
Mark Alburger
The Decameron, First Day, Op. 200
Abducted by Aliens, Op. 222
Portraits of ___ (Some Number of 3) Women, Op. 231
Not-exactly-merely standard maintaince; and cleansing, including -- lamentably -- financial...
Nevertheless,
onward,
with fiduciary greetings at the post box (mercifully counterbalancing the immediate bill... must hop to the next issue of 21st-Century!),
errands about town,
nostalgic lunch at Celia's,
continuing composition page 2 re Portraits...: IV. Marlena,
then
over
to
Berkeley
for
a
walk
across
campus
south
to
the
Music
Library,
rendezvous'ing
with
Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) - Hagith, Op. 25 (1913)
Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) - Harp Concerto, Op. 25 (1965)
Robert Muczynski (1929-2010) - Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 25 (1968)
(these in preparation for The Opus Project presents Opus 25 -- 8pm, Saturday, January 31, Diablo Valley College Music Building, Pleasant Hill, CA).
From
here,
back past
Engineering
to
Haviland
and
Hearst
Avenues,
up
and
over
the
Ridge,
through
Orinda
Canyon
to
Diablo Valley College,
that fortunate time of the month,
circuiting around
to
Cybercopy,
for final printings of The Creation, Op. 93: I. In the Beginning.
And now the local weather report: high 61, low 43. Elsewhere...
