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).
