October 5 - Following the Lights

Review day in Theory,

in a striking morning of

su

and

cloud,

with Charles Ives's Variations on America Spanish Theme as dictation / keyboard-solfege / board harmony, and more

remarkable student compositions.

Harriet out on a job, and we just miss touching bases, as, after errands -- looping around via Franklin Canyon,

Cummings

Skyway,

and I-80 over the

Sulfur Springs --

return

return

homeward

to grade papers for both classes,

setting

out

again 

in

equally

 dramatic

light

(down

(the

680,

over

the

Benicia)

for the

evening

Lit Class, for music from Henry Purcell to J.S. Bach,

looking ahead to the Classical Era.

Even the night glows usher in mystery (a not inappropriate atmospher in which to learn eliptically of the death of Steve Jobs)

for

more errands and the second homecoming of the day, where somehow the typical musical endeavors are accomplished, not without fatigue against last lights...
