May 10 - All in the Blazing
Definitely warmer (c. 80) for composing page 12 of Psalm 55, reformatting King David: VII. Oh for the Wings of a Dove into Encore from Sibelius, and
semi-hustle toward Theory student teaching,
including Kristy's charming and delightful Ding, Dong the Witch Is Dead from Harold Arlen's The Wizard of Oz.
A quick poll -- how many of us recognized the tune on first look? -- none
Then we sing it in solfege and all is clear...
How many of us could have done this before the beginning of the semester? -- pretty much same answer as above, at least given constiuency today, so definite progress has been made...
Stop by the Business Office briefly,
then blitz
homeward
to
see Harriet, and complete a bit paper grading,
returning in the
easy evening for Music Literature from
Leonard Bernstein to Philip Glass, and a vault ahead to John Lennon, Roger Waters, and Andy Summers.
Out thereafter with
Owen and Doug (Melanie is on her honeymoon), then homeward again for the impossible dreams of creating a pdf for Psalm 92: I. (Op. 9), transfering the Encore movements of Samson and Delilah (Op. 65) from PC to Mac (X. through XIII. were the first pieces transcribed in the brief Sibelius period), and a third video clip for video of Camino Real: Block 9.
