A wonderful concert of Persian Classical Music -- traditional and beyond -- is presented at Diablo Valley College by Shanin (tar), Vihad (santour and dombek), and an equally marvelous singer.
Before this, the requisite double Theory experience... Olivier Messiaenic Octatonic Scales early and
Sting's King of Pain later,
followed by
paper-grading at
Concord Elephant Bar.
After,
homeward to compose page five of Raising Messiah, Op. 237 (continuing II. This Fishing for a Living),
over explosive videos with
Harriet and Megan,
plus paperwork (re upcoming California Music Teachers Association Composition Contest judging) at Kinko's, on the 51st day of summer, high rocketing back up 11 degrees to 75 (a tick less [74] in Pleasant Hill)...
