February 16 - Stormy and Spectacular
Another highly changeable, scenic day, composing page 10 of Psalm 47,
with
a
blitzkrieg
through
the
blasts
of
680
to
a
Theory review of the Dies Irae (how to play it), plus dictation / board-harmony on Conrad Paumann's Mit Ganzem Willen and fine student works.
Next
a
detour
through the
Berkeley Hills to drop off the most recent journal for publication,
then a tour-de-force of low rainbows,
striking
light,
and
a
tumultuous hailstorm back over the Sulfur Springs Mountains -- and home, creating the next orchestrated pages of New Big People Old Trouble So Sunday (through page 79) from the 15th piano-vocal original, and providing a video for
Elijah Ghost: IV.
