beyond (with the iPhone, rather than iPod, for music, camera, traffic, weather, etc. -- unexpectedly "shuffled" at one point, but then with a solution found), to Diablo Valley College for dictation on Louis Borgeois's Old Hundredth, plus chords in C and G Major, and the A Natural and Melodic Minor Scales. After passing off a few late quizzes, there's an extended session in the lab, recording Tritone Orchestra versions of
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW, Op. 85
II. The People That Walked in Darkness
III. The Call
V. The Salt of the Earth
VI. The Sermon
VIII. Ask and You Shall Receive
IX. The Two Builders
