October 25 - Deception, Deception
Definitely on a roll, re the publication-preparation and visual libretto for Sex and the Bible: The Opera (Part I), but good thing, because it has to be done and ready to go by the November 15 audition / get-together. In going through this process, have revised piano-vocal scores, re-paginated for this series of excerpts from seven mostly-larger complete works, as well as really finalizing exactly what this piece is re number of movements, and personel for at least this go-round.
Today's efforts included the above concerns re
5. ABRAHAM AND ISAAC
IX. The Deception
X. The Birth / The Banishment (re googling for pictures in this regard -- an amazing number of visuals over the centuries on the expulsion of Hagar and here plight in the desert "wilderness")
plus
compose page 11 of Pini di Sorriento and
orchestrate page 5 re Gospel According to St. Matthew:
XXIV. Beelzebub.
