Another early Heraclitan morn (after a very late night putting pdfs into Scribd for use at markalburgermusichistory.blogspot.com and markalburgerworks.blogspot.com) through
Lagoon Valley and
Mountains, down past
Long Barn and the Chinese Wall,
on the Diablo
Straightaway until the straight way is lost at
Treat Boulevard, up
Geary Road to
Acalanes Ridge, for more brilliance from Jia and company at St. Mary's Perceiving the Performing Arts class with presentations on
Bill T.
Jones,
William
Forsythe (including a youtube video of part of his One Flat Thing, Reproduced, and
a post-
presentation
dance), and
Pina
Bausch
(showcasing another youtube clip --
the end of her dance on
Igor Stravinsky's
The Rite of Spring).
Exiting stage north, stunned to see a classic old California bungalow (above from a little more than a year ago, on March 7, 2009)
crushed in the
cold,
cold,
crystaline
cosmos.
Diablo follows with
Quiz 9, on early 20th-century harmony, featuring musical examples from
Charles Ives's Serenity, Scott Joplin's The Entertainer, Claude Debussy's Children's Corner and Piano Preludes, and Igor Stravinsky's Firebird, Petrushka, and The Rite of Spring.
After a brief respite,
home past the
highlands for more
Psalm 13 (page 5) and Song of Solomon: II. I Am the Rose of Sharon (4),
re-collapsing early.
