Do final pdf for and post Seasons' Eves (Op. 14) on The International Music Score Library Project, begin composition of Psalm 58 (inspired by George Crumb's Makrokosmos, Volume 1, orchestrated after his Echoes of Time and the River), transfer compositions from PC to Mac via email up to Waiting for Godot (Op. 128), with a 21st clip added to video for Camino Real: Block 9.
After all this,
off with Harriet towards
San Francisco,
via the
Marin Headlands
and
Golden Gate
Bridge,
to the
Marina
(for coffee and scones)
and
Fort
Mason,
meeting
up with
Lisa and
Tom (ascending the freight elevator, because it happens to be going our way),
taking in the revival of
Erling Wold's
Queer, where
the composer-guitarist, Jab (trumpet-player for Henry Miller in Brooklyn, who has moved back to Chicago, but is on an extended tour, playing a variety of gigs in the West),
Trauma Flintstone,
Ken Berry
(Casanova in Camino Real, who remains happily resident at Bondi Beach, Australia), and
all
turn
in
amazing
performances,
under
the
able
eye
of director
Jim Cave. No surprise, Erling's opera is every bit as fine as the ten-years-previously premiere -- in some ways even better, and a delightful time is had during the show, and after, by all (report soon in 21st-Century Music at 21st-centurymusic.blogspot.com and eventually at 21st-centurymusic.com and in print).
