May 30 - It's All a Mystery


Finish the orchestration of Elijah Rock: XVI. Send (Ahaziah and Elijah) and a bit of Journal work before heading out to the



Briones-to-Mt.-Diablo Trail, east from



Larkey Park,



past the Lindsay Wildlife Museum and



opulent palms behind barbed wire fences,



to the path's intersection with the Contra-Costa Canal and Geary Boulevard, thus completing a semester's succession of strolls connecting St. Mary's and Diablo Valley Colleges. Ta-da.



Return past several snarlers



safely ensconced,



EBMUD pipes and



pines, in time to catch the



evening light on



Acalanes Ridge --



eucalypti, air-conditioners, and fences in the foreground --



palms, cypresses, and



cars waiting -- then to DVC to record Tritone Orchestra versions of




Elijah Rock, Op. 71


XII. King (Benhadad and Ahab)









and



XVI. Send (Ahaziah and Elijah)










Home again, orchestrating XVII. You (Elijah and Elisha).
