August 21 - Connecting the Lines


Time for the weekly Sierra walk -- after typical 21st-Century Music work, doing the Harriet corrections for the John Adams article, putting the main Oxford / Grove contract in the mail +

Pdf of Duo Sonata No. 1 ("Hyphenated"): I. Promenade-Blues
10th page composed for Psalm 69
90th orchestrated page of The Countess Cathleen

100 pages total for edit of Symphony No. 3

-- up past Auburn,


Gold Run,


Bear River


Valley,


Emigrant and


Yuba


Gaps,


the


latter's


Pass,


Cisco Butte,


Castle


Ridge;


then down


Donner


Grade,


ascending gradually again past Little Chief


Cliffs, to fill in the gap between


Dollar


Hill and


Carnelian


Bay on


the Northwest


shore of


Lake Tahoe,


getting close


to finishing


this series of


connected hikes from the California coast to the Nevada border. 


Return in darkness, re-listening to John Adams's Nixon in China and The Death of Kinghoffer both directions, and finishing re-reading Keith Abbott's poignant memoir of


Richard Brautigan sometime after arrival home.
