Begin the staging of Job: A Masque, for San Francisco Cabaret Opera's Fresh Voices programs in June, with Nanette McGuiness (God / Bildad the Shuhite), Heather Kline (Elihu / Messenger I), Kate Bautch (Job's Wife / Messenger III), Marilyn Pratt (Job), Sarita Cannon (Eliphaz the Temanite / Messenger II), and Crystal Philippi (Satan / Messenger IV / Zophar the Naamathite) -- including
"Have you seen",
"We were plowing",
"And they killed off everyone",
"Where have you been",
"No one's like him",
"Take away his health", and
"He'll curse your face".
Earlier, it was page 5 Creation: III orchestrated, 3 of Vespers: VII. Duo Seraphim (Part II) composed, and parts for Job: XI. done, before heading past Mt. Diablo in the glorious mid-day sunny cloudless warmth.
After, head with Harriet to
Goat Hall, checking the mail (somewhat worthwhile), then down the
increasingly incredibly bitterly cold, foggy coast of
Pacifica /
Linda Mar and
Devil's Slide, to
Half Moon Bay, walking from
Wavecrest to a pickup on
Poplar, via
windswept
plateau
pines
and
cypresses,
overlooked by the
Johnston
House
and encroaching
development.
A bit west and
north past the
Cypress Inn and
Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society to
dine in
Miramar,
then
farther north in the restive, setting sun.
[N.B. all the pictures of San Mateo county (Devil's Slide, Half Moon Bay, Pacifica) in this blog entry are inexplicably prefixed as "ContraCosta." Oh well...]
