Edit the sixth New Big People extravaganza and barely do a blog update for 21st-Century Music before blitzing past Mt. Diablo to the
college and dictation / board-harmony on J.S. Bach's Cantata 140 ("Wachet auf") plus a goodly number of scales -- Bb and Eb Major, B and F# Minor (both Natural Minor and in the latter's case Harmonic as well), and C Melodic Minor -- and finally finishing up round 1 of fine student compositions.
Sub for Glenn Appell in his History of Rock class,
take a journey around campus to the
new Fine Arts division office to deal with paperwork,
then homeward under
unsettled skies, to Harriet, squeezing in a second page of composition for Psalm 49, followed by taking her to
Kaiser
and
Dr. Fergusson for a check-up, where she excels all expectations -- the doctor even showing her off to colleagues as an example of a very successful double-knee operation.
Long wait at the pharmacy for needed medication, then home for a very brief time -- just long enough for a bit of San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra business before out the door again to the
hinterlands of Fairfield for a second rehearsal with the Solano Symphony Orchestra, featuring reasonably full winds this time around, and strings on a light bass regimen. Winds begin as sectional, and then are out an hour early (much appreciated, given oboistic endurance issues... hmm...), in present company's case to do the next mystery video:
Poems on Crane: I. I Saw a Man.
