Up again early,
but not quite so much as earlier in the week,
to the
appointed round with Crystal -- but where is she?
Not at the Crestwood Open Space or at
home... turns out she's at another trailhead, thinking that it's some other day, so we'll try again next week. Beyond local errands, pick up the January 2006 back issues of 21st-Century Music in Berkeley and
zip through the
Coast
Range
to
Diablo
Valley College to record,
in the lab,
All the BBC Sound Files (Op. 192)
XLIII. Construction
XLIV. Cats
XLV. Emergency
100 Sound Effects (Op. 193)
IV
and
Psalm 62 (part of Op. 189).
Over the Bay Bridge (with a 5th Street detour) to Potrero Hill, there's time to grade half of the Music History Quiz 6's outside at
Connecticut Yankee before heading to the
War Memorial for San Francisco Opera's production of
Richard
Wagner's
Siegfried,
as part of their 2011 Ring of the Nibelungs.
Counting intermissions, a 5-hour experience, just for a quarter of this Cycle -- reporting soon for Commuter Times and here.
What can we say in the meantime, briefly?
That nothing of Wagner is done briefly, certainly...
Pdf of seventh Embedded Invention (Op. 20),
Ninth movement of The Little Prince video edited,
Page 8 of Psalm 64 composed, and
Page 43 of The Countess Cathleen orchestrated.
Also finish re-reading Edward Abbey's Beyond the Wall (1984).
