January 30 - How It Is


Yet a third recommend, now for Chase Buestad, re St. Mary's, plus page 16 of Vespers of 2010 composed, then in



low



light



towards Diablo Valley College to finally make slightly slower versions of Sex and the Bible re Dinah, Potiphar's Wife, and Pharaoh Had a Dream.



Back in the car, now city-wise for the



San Francisco



premiere of a



new chamber orchestra version of Alban Berg's Wozzeck, surprisingly fully-bodied, and fully professional,


with a cast including John Duykers and



Michael Desnoyers (Haemon for last season's Antigone), a



stunning




presentation of the 20th Century's greatest



opera, from beginning



to



end (with a review soon in 21st-Century Music [online at 21st-centurymusic.blogspot.com and 21st-centurymusic.com]),



with violinist Monika Gruber (SFCCO) and clarinetist Peter Josheff (SFCO / Goat Hall Productions) in the pit -- greeting the latter two after the impressive show.



Homeward past a carousel



of



apartments



and



light to



prepare-for-publication page 16 of Psalm 4.
