October 17 - Aglow


Racing


against


the


dawn



through


fog of


Solano and


Sonoma


(Sears


Point


and


Petaluma


Plain)


and


fair


of


Marin


(across


the


37


lowlands


and


down


101),


rendezvous'ing with Crystal


and


the


ever-


energetic


Stanley


at last


in the Terra Linda /


Sleepy Hollow Divide Open Space with


views all around --


nice to


take up


again our


weekly walks.


Beyond, after errands, it's across the


Bay


and


through


Franklin Canyon


on


Route 4, ultimately to


Diablo Valley College, for the beginning of Week 10 with the Theoreticians, featuring Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf for video, dictation, keyboard-solfege, and board harmony... plus C# / G# / D# Minor, B Major, and engaging student compositions.


Homeward,


mostly,


thereafter


to


Harriet and Tony, responding to emails re the two Fresh Voices shows (XI and XII), then back down the freeway to San Francisco for the monthly


SFCCO board meeting,


debriefing the just-concluded rehearsal-performance series.


Late-night musical endeavors include continued work on the pdf of Aerial Requiem (page 14, conclusion of Tuba Mirum), plus composition of ensuing pages re Psalm 77 (9) and The Cop and the Anthem (25).
