August 19 - Pleasant All the Way


Wake up to a renewed noisy computer (the sounds haven't gone away, just calmed down a bit since taken in last time)


so off again to the Apple Store, this time



south of Walnut Creek, since the more local one is closed for renovation, to Pleasanton, where, Beckettianly nothing much is to be done -- though am reassured that the laptop should hum along for quite awhile, but just with this increased hum... (hmm....). Elect not to leave the computer for examination, as need it every day for examinations, etc., teaching. Perhaps only solution is to buy another and use in alteration as needed (additonally Harriet could use the second, as she is not exactly state-o-art at present w/ old PC desktop).



Back north to



Pleasant Hill and



Diablo Valley College.



Brief jaunt up to the Library with its views



back towards the Music Building



and the campus



namesake



Mount,



Then back past sculptured



lawns beyond



Math to Music for third day of Theory, with Lowell Mason's Mary Had a Little Lamb for dictation and keyboard solfege. Lab Tritone Orchestra recordings follow of



JOB: A MASQUE



SCENE IX - MONOLOGUE - "I am still young"











SCENE X - WHIRLWIND - "Who are you"











SCENE XI - EPILOGUE - "Lord blessed the last part"











Return



through



Fairfield and



Poverty Hills, beyond to Davis to examine Richard Strauss Salome score,


retiring to point of origin in the twilight somewhere off in Pleasants Valley, orchestrating page 1 of



John and Salome: I. Turn.
