November 30 - Tossed As It Is Untroubled



"It was a howling day, I remember, a hundred by the anenometer."


The fog gives way to blustery winds and gorgeous bluestery skies, taking in a couple classic kid's movies in the early hours (Jule Styne's Mr. Magoo's Christmas, Johnny Marks's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Moose Charlap's Peter Pan), and over the Benicia Bridge for the third day of student teaching with the Diablo Valley College Music Theoreticians, and beginning in earnest the fourth round of compositions.  Home again, quite a number of papers graded, and back again for the


evening class, proceeding from Sergei Prokofiev through Dizzy Gillespie


looking ahead (lamentably) to our last week of content, in a slightly truncated semester.  Return late for more suspicious musical activities: Pdf of Street Songs, system 4, and composition of The Cop and the Anthem (page 60) and Psalm 81 (M6).
