September 20 - Ups

Edit Psalm 27 (12 pages total) before a Theory dictation/board-harmony of Claudio Monteverdi's L'Ofeo: Tu se' morta, thereafter playing three Youtube videos -- Psalm 6: 1-5; The Twelve Fingers: VIII. Sonata; and Ecclesiastes: III. For Everything -- latter two by request, all quite well received.




Tritone-Orchestra record Psalm 26 in the lab then

and through

rehearsal.



Home for more Twelve Preludes and Fugues ("Topical") videos... VIa. The Examined Life and



Vb. Empedocles Was Wrong.

July 21 - It's Time It Ended, and Yet...

Pages 57-58 of Symphony No. 2: II and a third of Psalm 21 prepared for publication -- this is supposedly the day to head north, yet there is hesitation, until Harriet calls to assure that all's well. We decide to make it tomorrow, proceeding apace with cleaning up the house (much is back in the adjunct library, but now neat), leaving only a fair amount of fairly neat file stacks in the study. Finish up the videos of Ecclesiastes, being



X. Dead Flies and



XI. Epilogue.

July 20 - Lines of Inquiry

Two more pages (55-56) of Symphony 2: II prepared for publication, plus a second for Psalm 21, work on the September 2010 and the reconstruct of December 2005 21st-Century Music, a call from Harriet, and an additional box of files dispatched before picking up a parcel at the post and heading up the

way



through



the



wilds



of

pastoral



Marin



and



Sonoma



to



south Petaluma for a bit more on the cross-California route,



from the offramp of 101 northbound to southbound (yet the walk is north).



Returning



home, there are the day's videos to do for YouTube:



Ecclesiastes: VIII. Who's Like and



IX. But All This.

July 14 - Composers Cooperative

Transfer and edit the August 2010 issue of 21st-Century Music from the blog to Word, save as pdf, send over to Erling for the archives, run it down to Copy World in Berkeley to print, then across the now $6-at-peak-hours Bay Bridge for the first time to Lisa Scola Prosek's salon, with David Graves, hearing the former's Sonata, and the latter's String Quartet, as well as the new videos for Psalm 6: 1-5, Ecclesiastes: VII. Day of Death, and Job: VIII. Is There Someone.



We break camp for



Erling's and



Composers Chamber Orchestra board meeting, and it seems a perfect time to begin video for



A Walk Through California: San Francisco (SFCCO Room and Board). At home successfully incorporate still shots for the first time in iMovie resulting in visuals for



San Rafael News: V. Lifespan. Oh yes, and more pages prepared for publication of Symphony No. 2: II.

July 13 - Who Knows What

Prepare for publication the first 8 pages of Symphony No. 2 ("Tamalpais"): II DOUBLE FUGUE and do a boodle of work in the adjunct library -- all the back issues of 21st-Century Music now in file boxes, 8 years of Diablo Valley College papers relocated, stacks of books and music back on shelves (rather than piled here and there). Also transfer over Opus 10-12 (Nocturnes for Insomniacs, Portraits of Three [Flute] Players, Four Processions) from the old computer to new via email (only way that's possible at the moment, and a surprisingly laborious process), then zoom out the door in the twilight to do a couple of videos for Ecclesiastes -- V-VI. There Is Evil and



VII. Day of Death, returning to edit and post. Upload Antigone: XVI. Antigone / You, Too to Facebook and receive some positive feedback from earlier posts -- always good to hear from such folks as Pamela Walker Agnew, Susan Hauslein Ware, and William Loney.

June 15 - Time Odysseys

Produce, mix, and upload two more videos to YouTube, being Ecclesiastes: IV and



Variations and Theme: XII after the second Live Oak rehearsal (a combination of dress and tech for various pieces) of



Fresh Voices X, including



Edward Knight's Life Is Fine,



Chris Whitaker's George Bush: The Last 100 Days,



Daniel Felsenfeld's The Bloody Chamber,



Alden Jenks's Letter from Linda,



Robert Denham's Sutter Creek, and



Jeff Myers's The Hunger Art. Another page (30) of Vespers: Sancta Maria Ora Pro Nobis before the journey.

June 14 - Out, Back

After page 28-29 composed for Vespers: Sancta Maria, Ora Pro Nobis, in residence, from c. 3-10pm at



Berkeley's



Live Oak



Theatre for



tech rehearsal of



Ed Knight's Life Is Fine,



Chris Whitaker's



George Bush: The Last Hundred Days,



Daniel Felsenfeld's



The Bloody Chamber,



Job:



A



Masque,



(including



VIII.



Is There Someone



IX. I Am Still Young and



X. Who Are You Job?), and



John Bilotta's Trifles, all of which go quite well. Manage to do two new videos nonetheless, being Ecclesiastes: III. for Everything and



II. Come on.
