March 18 - Run for the Books
Suspect composition of page 2 Psalm 50, another 15 seconds of Camino Real: Block 2 video (at 4'45" this is getting ridiculous), and a yet-again zip to the
library for Harriet (like clockwork from last week, just as "will close in 20 minutes" announcement is made).
Another set of surprises borrowed --
Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night (1956 / 1973),
Look Back in Anger (1959 and
1989 after the 1953 play by John Osborne),
The Lost Boys (1978, re J.M. Barrie, whose Peter Pan character first appeared in 1902),
Love in the Time of Cholera (Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 1985 / 2007),
Love is a Many-Splendored Thing (Han Suyin [Elizabeth Comber], 1952 / 1955),
Luther (again by Osborne, 1973, from the 1961 play),
M Butterfly (David Henry Hwang, 1988 / 1993),
The Maids (Jean Genet, 1947 / 1974),
Mansfield Park (Jane Austen, 1814 / 2009),
The Man with Two Faces (1934), and
Marked Woman (1937) -- then
back to email off Grove article drafts to
Belinda Reynolds
Alex Shapiro
Andrew Shapiro
Melinda Wagner
William Winant
Erling Wold
and begin to update Edward Strickland's Philip Glass Grove Online article. Takes a while to find, but the updating proves easier -- now all that remains is to add info on the last 10 year's of Glass's music in the text and works list... will probably start with the latter and move to the former, both next week. Meanwhile, Alex, Willie, and Erling check in positively re the aritcles. Alex does a fine bit of rewrite, but a bit too long, nevertheless Charles Hiroshi Garrett proves positive in acceptance and in further editorial skill, making a third article ready for the Oxford editorial process (proceeded by American Baroque and Mona Lyn Reese), so everything is moving at a reasonable fashion towards the April 1 deadlines.

March 6 - Making a Lizst
Begin composition of Psalm 49, referencing Stephen Schwartz and Edgar Varese, and do the daily editing of 21st-Century Music early, such that the day can be devoted to pressing matters -- such as grocery shopping (all watched over by pidgeons of loving grace), mailing out the amazingly delinquent November and December 2010 Journals, and working on the Grove American articles: formatting the first five for submission, emailing American Baroque final draft to Charles Hiroshi Garrett, sending off the Cold Blue and Jim Fox ones for subject approval, relaying Mona Lyn Reese to Harriet for proofing, touching base with Belinda Reynolds re some details, doing third draft of Alex Shapiro. Also edit the fifth movement of New Big People Old Trouble So Sunday and do the final Street Songs video:
II. At a Photo Shop.

Compose page 15 of Psalm 47, orchestrate piano-vocal page 20 of New Big People Old Trouble So Sunday (114 orchestrated pages total), write a second draft of the Erling Wold article for The Grove Dictionary of American Music, Second Edition, and do a video for
Salome Suite: II. Bring Me the Head.
