May 14 - Echoing Across to There There


Still working on orchestration for The Creation: IV. (page 7) and composition of Vespers: IX. Audi Coelum (2), the latter an extremely clever anonymous Latin text, as above and below, where the echoed fragments translate as totally different words.


Intriguing as it all is,



time to head out through



the



Sulfur



Springs



Mountains,



down



the I-80



Corridor



to



Oakland's



Paramount



Theatre



for



the



Oakland



East



Bay



Symphony (complete with seeing-eye dog and SFCCO cellist-composer Dan Reiter) presentation of music by the



inexplicably ever-present Jake Heggie and



Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, reviewed soon for Commuter Times and 21st-Century Music.



Return


along



Broad



Street



and



beyond thereafter to send out the press releases for the upcoming San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra June 2010 Silence of the Wolves concert.
