Finally get around to printing the scores to Salome Suite and Pini di Surriento (have been conducting from print-out),
rendezvous with Harriet, and
we're off,
through
Lagoon
Valley and
Mountains, past
Sentinel Mountain and
Sulfur Springs Canyon,
up Lynch Grade, beyond
the prominence of St. John Mine, past
Vallejo's machinations,
approaching and
ascending the
Napa River Bridge,
over
the
marshes
and
farmlands
of
southern Sonoma
returning to the
return of Mt. Tamalpais,
Sears
Point,
and
Ring Mountain,
gathering with Lori Garvey,
Erling Wold, and the rest of the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra for the soundcheck before Return to Return to Sorrento, in that playlist, familiar by now, played impressively in the ensuing concert, to wit:
