June 27 - Tossed, Untroubled


Heroically


down


the


beautiful,


wind-whipped,


fog-strewn


80 / 680


corridor


for


appointed


rounds with the Music Historians, covering the


Early Renaissance,


returning through


similar contitions,


on errands, including a


video re-supply for Harriet at the Library, wherein are found such items as


Solomon (1997, surprisingly fairly according-to-text and nuanced),


Tennessee Williams's Suddenly Last Summer (1958 / 1959, amazingly, a kind of update of Euripedes's amazing Bacchae [the latter of which Steven Clark handled so brilliantly in Dionysus, on the double bill with The Playboy of the Western World]),


The Sundowners (John Cleary, 1951 / 1960),


Ten Little Indians (Agatha Christie, 1939 / 1965, reset on a mountain top from its original island locale, with the altered ending of the author's stage version),


That Hamilton Woman (1941, re the remarkable Emma Hamilton, 1765 - 1815), and


They Drive By Night (1940). The typical composition / orchestration / video drill upon return -- i.e.

Fifth movement of The Little Prince video as a discrete file,
Page 4 of Psalm 64 composed,
Page 39 of The Countess Cathleen orchestrated,
Third pdf of the Embedded Inventions (Op. 20) created --

additionally posting


Yellow River Concerto II, Op. 18, on


The International Music Score Library Project, and finishing up a re-reading of Edward Abbey's


Down the River (1982).
