Let My Beloved Come, update the 21st-centurymusic.blogspot.com and markalburgermusichistory.blogspot.com sites (the latter re syllabus of Perceiving the Arts -- dividing the four weeks into Early Music, Common Practice, 20th-Century, and 21st-Century / SF Symphony), and following Harriet out the door (eventually) to Chamber Arts for the fourth rehearsal of Job: A Masque, with at last our complete cast as

Above photo and below Owen Lee party shot thanks to learning how to use the "stitch" mode in Photosmart Studio for the first times.



Breaking up is always hard, we know,



but we have to jump in the car towards



the Berkeley



Hills,



Caldecott



Tunnel,



the Round Top Highlands,



and



Mt.



Diablo



on 24 / 680 -- towards Owen Lee's



50th-birthday party in Concord, with Glenn Appell, Mark Steidel,



the celebrant (unfortunately the only pic taken turned out to be this newborn one), David Chavez, Jerry Kuderna, Brett Peppo, Rory Snyder, and Dick Kamprath.



Reverse course past the Walnut Creek



Ziggurats, again through the hills to



San Francisco Bay, over the



Bridge, rendezvous'ing with Harriet at



Goat Hall to check the mail (she does better at the post box). Davies Hall is next (run into Ken Bullock and company fore and aft while dropping off and picking up Harriet) for a performance by the



St. Louis Symphony of

Christopher Rouse - Rapture
Sergei Prokofiev - Violin Concerto No. 2
Jan Sibelius - Symphony No. 7
John Adams - Dr. Atomic Symphony

to be written up soon for Commuter Times and 21st-Century Music (21st-centurymusic.blogspot.com, 21st-centurymusic.com, and in print),


and



thence



back to orchestrate page 7 of The Creation: I.
