February 13 - Zing!

Vespers: II. Psalm 109 page 29 composed, finish the publication-preparation for Psalm 5 (through page 20), do same for Psalm 6 (both movements, which are also Op. 1, now part of this extensive Psalms, Op. 172 -- as will 109 above, after all, why not?), and begin simile for Psalm 7.



Also do a chapter on Alexander Zemlinsky over at markalburgermusichistory.blogspot.com, plus treble version of Job for mvmts IX.-X.



Sun comes out, heater's turned off, windows open a bit, lighter clothing, etc -- seemingly firsts in quite some time.

January 21 - Ramp to the Future

More orchestration of Psalm 3 and composition re Vespers of 2010: I. Deus in adjutorium (page 4) before the driving rain from here to the west exit of 24, south to



Pleasant Hill Road, and thence to



St.



Mary's,



first to visit the




business



office and



on




to




Syufy Hall to meet with



Jia and




Rebecca re Perceiving the Performing Arts.




The order of presentations will be theatre, dance, music, which will allow the benefit of experience, and hopefully the group attendance of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Davies in early May, offering Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1 and music of John Adams.

The return is via Diablo Valley College to record
