May 20 - Our Examination Round


Exam day for Theory, so up pretty early, around Long Barn, the



Chinese Wall,



Horse Farm,



Suburbs access road, and we are



hard-working



scholars, in excerpts of music derived from Nirvana, Elton John, Mark Alburger, Howard Shore, and Radiohead.



Then to St. Mary's,



for final meeting of Music and the Enlightenment,



and we are so, particularly theory and composition-wise, creating fugue subjects, etc.



Heading out



thereafter,



it's back to east side of Acalanes Ridge (with views of the South Summit),



briefly on the Briones-to-Mt-Diablo Trail from Quail View to Ramsey Circles; Enlightenment paper-grading at China Garden; recording the first part of Elijah Rock: IX. Roar (The People and Elijah);



and returning past the last light on the southerly slopes of the Sulfur Springs Mountains,



Stonewind, and



North Lagoons. A bit more orchestration of Elijah: IX. upon return.
