Always running a little late, it seems, but still early enough to get to class on time for the evening
Music Literature session, from the undated Yurok Women's Brush Dance through the Ancient Asia Minor Epitaph of Seikilos,
looking ahead to next week, as at top.
The morning Theory class -- proceeded by 21st-Century Music work and
the
daily
commute -- also apparently goes well, with dictation on the Gregorian Kyrie IV (harmonized as a tonic drone, identifying number of interval thus formed), plus review.
Return
thereafter,

petrol,

Flying Down to Rio [Vincent Youmans, 1933],
Gigi [Frederick Lowe, 1958],

More Finale endeavors on the homefront...

... figuring out, among other items, two particularly amazingly foolish set-ups in the program:
1. re Measure Numbers, the default is "opaque" -- which must be unchecked so that measure-number boxes may be visible (?!)
2. re Page Numbers -- instructions for "Right Page" -- which would usually be first page of a document -- are given at the bottom of the window (?!).
All one can do is find the whimsy in the situation, right down to the instruction book's ridiculous notion that the whole process is easy.... Ha!... somewhat reminiscent of Sibelius's arrogant "Sibelius can do that for you automatically"...
Late,
after the there-and-back again, edit 8th-and-final video of the Henry Miller in Brooklyn Noe Valley performance.
