May 3 - At the Edge


Finish printing out the Job parts and make the mad dash to Diablo Valley College for a double dictation and board harmony on Philip Glass's Satyagraha (Opening Scene) and Akhnaten (Love Duet), then through the Caldecott Tunnel to



Copy World to produce the published versions of aforementioned. After a brief diversion to the Oakland foothills, get steered towards



San



Francisco


(thanks to phone calls re Erling and Martha)



and



Pacifica


to drop off



parts and



score,



migrating



further



south



for



another Half Moon Bay wander, now from



Wavecrest



to



Redondo



Beach



Roads,


taking the latter past views down and



up coastward



to



the



cliff



perimeter --



a



transcendent experience for



most, if



not all.



Heading



back



north through



San Mateo,


San


Francisco



(through Ocean Beach,



Sutro



Heights,



Lincoln



Park,



Sea



Cliff,



and



the



Presidio),



and


Marin,



the



evening


falls


to



orchestration of page 7 Creation: III and composition re 5 Vespers: VII. Duo Seraphim (Part II) (the latter also to be part of John John John, Op. 183)
