after which
some of us
linger.
Before this, produce percussion parts for Pini di Surriento and Salome Suite, and the drive towards Berkeley, with
Mt. Diablo
breaking
through
the
fog. After, stop off at the College to record
The Gospel According to St. Matthew:
L. The Last Judgement / The Annointment
(a parody-trope of Igor Stravinsky's Firebird: Infernal Dance of Prince Kaschai)and
Magnificat:
III. Qui respexit
(triply inspired, as the rest of the piece, by the Magnificats of Claudio Monteverdi, J.S. Bach, and Alan Hovhaness),returning home for page 5 of IV. Omnes generationes orchestration, plus more composition of The Vespers of 2010.
