August 3 - The Fog Is Clearing Again, Maybe
Up too early but really not early at all and out to Novato for a car check-up and light-fix, grading Music History papers over a breakfast burrito while the fog breaks.
Back on 37 towards Mt. Diablo's twin peaks to
Diablo Valley College to join other
industriousness-in-progress by recording the Tritone Orchestra version of
Esther Xerxes: X. Proclamation Issued
then to U.C. Davis
Shields Library,
past avid cellphoners, to research orchestration for
Job: A Masque, inspired by Ralph Vaughan Williams, William Blake, et. al,
returning
towards the low sun over the Coast Ranges
to orchestrate Job SCENE I - INTRODUCTION - "What You Been Doing?", take a bike-and-pool break with Harriet (along with other unexpected excitements), and start the instrumentalizing of
SCENE II - "We Were Plowing" (a 12-bar blues on the opening of Alban Berg's Three Pieces for Orchestra: III. March).
