April 7 - Uncertain Paths


Pretty tired, on a day much colder (a retrograde temperature of yesterday -- 75 becomes 57), with 21st-Century music work and page 3 composed for Psalm 52, out the door and


whisking down 680 under


heroic clouds


for


Quiz 11 with the Theoreticians, featuring excerpts drawn from Duke Ellington, Olivier Messiaen, Bela Bartok, John Cage, Jester Hairston, and Richard Rodgers.


Directly


homeward


in


deteriorating


yet


striking


conditions,


the


sky


a


bruising


black


and


blue, for a little time with Harriet, before she is outbound to rehearsal.


The weather kicks in full guns with thunder shaking the house, and supposedly a tornado in Fairfield (there's at least a shot of a funnel cloud on a local television station's internet site).  Upload V.-VI. There Is Evil (weather really feels like it) from Ecclesiastes to the International Music Score Library Project, transfer Mary Variations (Op. 28) from PC to Mac via email (at this late date discovering a file-management benefit of establishing separate folders for each composition -- tendency has been to have all these no-doubt-thousands of music files alphabetical in one folder), with Camino Real: Block 7 video up to a minute and current blog at 456 MB (44.59%) of the 1024 (with today and two previous posts holding to the one-a-day megabyte ideal).
