May 24 - Tabulae Rasae

Bit blank in a very early departure -- staring off into the English Hills, Vaca Mountains,



Mt. Diablo, and



Acalanes Ridge -- on the way to



St. Mary's,



first



at



the



Library


for a couple of hours to double-check reviews and exams,



and then a



final faculty meeting with Jia and Rebecca re Perceiving the Arts grades. Again, an array, with, unfortunately, a number lower than would have been the case in an independent scenario.



Next to the breakfast palace quickly, for a two-buck entree (with coffee a penny less competitive at $1.99, thereby defacto doubling) to score Diablo Valley College Theory quizzes before another lab session, recording the first 11 pages of



Vespers: IX. Audi Coelum (Part II), then returning in the light of



Stonewind,



Wooded Top,



Twin Sisters, the Vacas,



Fairfield Pyramids, Poverty Hills, and South and



North Lagoon Mountains to finish Audi (Part II) (19 pages total), begin X. Psalm 147 - Lauda Jerusalem (through page 7), and orchestrate the next sheet (20) of Creation: IV.

April 30 - Schumann, Zemlinsky, and Company

It's St. Mary's at the SF Symphony, taking in



Robert's No. 4 and



Alexander's Lyric, but it takes a long time to get there, initially via page 4 orchestration of Creation: III, second sheet composed for Vespers: VII. Duo Seraphim (Part II), and parts for Job: X. Somewhere in there is a



trip to



insurance spot



to switch our coverage, before



blasting



out



over




the



Sulfur


Springs



Mountains



to



the gauntlets



of




Alameda and



Bay



Bridge,



arriving



at



Davies



for



capital



aerial



views,



a



multitude



of



reunions,



and



farewells. The concert? Oh, yes -- certainly one or more reports, eventually in 21st-Century Music (21st-centurymusic.blogspot.com, 21st-centurymusic.com, and in print).
