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).
