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.
